I'd suggest separating point 3 into two subpoints:

3a. *How* will I get the data?
3b. How will I channel that data into the output?

In my short experience with XSLT, point 3a was the
difficult part. I knew what data I wanted, but didn't
know at the time how to get to it. That's especially a
difficulty if one is not in control of the format of
the data source.
