And just to widen this question slightly - assuming I do have an XML
representation
of a language construct - whats the best way to do the conversion from
the XML representation to the 'correct' language representation.

Could I use XSL to do this - or would this be going against the grain?

(Just to qualify this I'm relatively new to XML, and *extremely* new to
XSL).
