It should be interesting.

One of the best uses I've seen for XSLT is in the FOP project.  XSLT really
does quite a nice job of translating documents for PDF printing, but that's
because it's a relatively straightforward mapping.

Thus, my idea is that BAUIML should map directly to SWTML, in such a way
that a single BAUIML tag should, as much as possible, resolve cleanly to one
or more SWTML tags.  There should be as little reliance on global variables
as possible; that is, the appearance of one tag should influence the output
of another as little as possible.  Whether that can be done, of course,
remains to be seen.
