Yes, my question is will XSLT work for a large scale project. I came up with
the idea during my work on RSS, when the tortured RDF syntax was causing
serious problems. Another, more complex example is this:

<content:content content:type="text/plain">some stuff</content:content>

which would need to be XSLTed into:

<content:content>
      <rdf:Description>
        <content:format>text/plain</content:format>
        <rdf:value>
           some stuff
        </rdf:value>
      </rdf:Description>
</content:content>

RSS is a well-adopted spec, would such XSLTing be acceptable for RDF
support?
