In my experience, if the XProc 'transformation' you are attempting starts to feel too complicated then you've already crossed the line and you should consider taking a few steps back (no pun intended) and whip-up a quick bit of XSLT that would more concisely achieve what you're after.

I would say always use XProc

Even if you end up having only one XSLT step in the pipeline, it's already worth
