Sure, but if a vendor doesn't do transforms (or doesn't do them easily), 
then having a transform version requires them to do something like 
canonicalize and hash the transform to see if it's something they can 
short-circuit.  That can be expensive.  Far easier to just do string 
compare and call your "fast xslt" if you're that kind of vendor.

My meta-point is that having two ways of doing the same thing is bad, 
and that uri->xslt is simpler and safe for folks that work that way, 
rather than xslt->code-implementing-the-uri.
