IMHO, the template language which is closer to the optimum is XSLT but only with one change:
FORGET THE XML SYNTAX!
Corollary, we should drop the XML syntax for the sitemap. I customarily use this syntax when RT'ing snippets:
match pattern="foo" generate src="baa.xml" transform src="too.xsl" serialize
I admit having read many Python books lately.
