I've observed a team of developers using XSLT as a build tool to
generate C++ code, instead of using the UML tool that had been
selected for them (Rhapsody). They modelled various aspects of the
problem domain using XML, and used XSLT templates to pump out C++.

How common is this approach? Anyone else have experience long-term
applying a similar approach?
Much of the C code for the Sun xmlroff XSL formatter [1] is generated
from the XML for the XSL 1.0 Recommendation.
If I may speak for Dave Pawson, the appendices in his XSL FO book are
also generated from the XML for the XSL 1.0 Recommendation.
