Are you sure you want to go down this path with xsl?  The performance hit is
really not worth it IMHO.  Can you elaborate on the interfaces you want to
expose?

Scott, what is your take on whether  "consistent" results can be obtained
using this approach?  If ten people in ten different parts of the world do
the same XMI 1.1 meta data interchange from UML to an XML syntax, will they
get one result or ten different results for the same process?
