I think you've got the direction backwards Max.  The stylesheet only
does content -> presentation, and not presentation -> content, which
is much harder, and not possible in full generality, of course.

The only systems I know that attempt the hard direction are Maple,
Mathematica and the WebEQ Developer Suite tools.  None of these is
easily scriptable, for a batch process, say, though the next version
of the WebEQ tools will have more facilities in this direction.
