It is not really like I have set a precedent here, I just implemented
what I needed the same way other things in Gump work right now.

Possibly.  Actually I still don't know too much about XSLT, what
you've seen is mainly the result of stealing ideas from stylesheets
Sam has written before combined with some wild guessing and
experiments.

I'm not at all against moving from XSLT to something else to create
what Gump needs, but the XSL sheets are here today.

But why is embedding shell script in DVSL better than embedding it in
XSLT?  I guess I'm more with Scott and his vindico proposal that uses
Ant instead of shell scripts (from my understanding of it).

The thing I dislike most when it comes to the stylesheet I've just
committed is that it creates a shell script that creates a shell
script.  I've done so because I couldn't figure out how to create
multiple output files from within a stylesheet (I'd need one per
<site>).  I guess I could have done so using Xalan redirects.

The dvsl user guide doesn't indicate if/how I could have done this
with DVSL, but I'm by far no Velocity expert.  Is it possible?
