oops!!! I think I wasn't clear with my question at all ... Sorry.
Yeah, I definitely agree that there are a huge number of smart XSLT
Mapper Tools in the market today....
My question was on the fundamental notion of usage of an "XML based
structure" like XSLT to represent processing/transforming "logic". I
was wondering if logic could be easier written/expressed if a Non-XML
programming language, rather than within XMLish documents. I
definitely see your point about today's User affording to stay
agnostic of the details of the mapping for most common business use
-cases. But yeah, my question stays.

Haven't tried it, though.

Hi All,
Whenever I open up an editor and view a complex XSLT, I feel that the
mapping logic is easier to be written and interpreted, if written in a
simple but powerful programming language [a high level language that
can be generated using javacc or something] - with an import/export
facility to XSLT.
Is there any existing infrastructure in place to achieve this?
Surely, I speak from the developer's perspective. With simple mapping
tools available in the market now which can generate you mappings, you
really need not know all the nitty gritties of XSLT at all for most
common business use cases.
