I've never tried to do things like grouping and calculating summaries in
XSLT, but I think that:

 * writing the config file for the GroupingTransformer is less work than
doing the same thing in XSLT.
 * calculating things like averages, sums, min and max values is a lot
easier than in XSLT (or probably impossible XSLT)
 * it should run faster than XSLT

On the other hand, an XSLT-based solution would be usable also outside of Cocoon.

Oh well, I'd better download the thing and have a serious look instead of speculating.

P.S.: Apologies if I sounded skeptic. I'm sure that, coming from Outerthought, it's a great piece of work.
