I quite like the idea of an abbreviated syntax if it is easy to use.
Ideally I'd like 

      <xsl:template match="p">
              <xsl:apply-templates>
      </xsl:template>

to be represented as

      element p
              output "%c"

I don't get the mapping between the two forms... If you want it to be a
different expression of the same language, there needs to be a mapping.

In XSLScript, your template would be something like:

X:template = "p" { 
        X:apply-templates;
}

That's not *very* different from the XML form, the difference being more
obvious when you start using xsl:if or parameters...
