Yar. And XSLT is the only thing about all that xml bullshit that is in
anyway interesting. Writing a XSLT processor is a massively none trivial
task.

Mind you saxon is written in Java, which was the only XSLT processor I
found which did a proper job of it.

It seems on causal thought that it ought to be possible to machine
translate it into D, unless Java has under gone massive change since the
last time I played with it.

So who's up for writing a Java to D translator?
