Q: Why do you use XSLT? Isn't it slow?

A: XSLT is a means to an end.  Currently, it provides the biggest bang 
   for the buck.  Reports will have hooks so that "formatting engines" 
   can be written that can output directly to the desired output.  
   However, there are more pressing issues than such engines and XSLT
   serves our needs well enough for the foreseeable future.
