XSP.pm is simpler than you think. The code's not that hard, people are 
just afraid of it because it has to maintain a bit of state in the 
stack, and has to special-case a few tags to do the right thing.

Turning XSP.pm into an XSLT engine would be a backward step here. It's 
much harder to do some of the heuristic stuff we do in XSP.pm in XSLT. 
Stick with the mantra "if it ain't broke...". Yes, there's a small bug 
in namespace output, but I'm willing to bet it's easy to fix.
