I'll be interested to know how effective you find this in practice.
For sure we could publish (or link to) such a thing from the W3C site
if it's useful to people, as long as it's clear it's not part of the
specification of course.

(and for 2.0 there's the possibility of giving more attention to
direct authoring rather than relying only on XSLT, although the
Working Group has very limited resources...)
