Nothing in Cocoon ties it to XSLT. Its just that the current user base is mostly 
made up of developers, confortable with XSLT, and we use the best tool for the 
job (from our point of view).

I'm sure, that as the project gets wider acceptance, and/if designers start asking
for some other presentation transform mechanism, someone will scratch that itch and
write a transformer for them.

Nevertheless, its not clear that XSLTs are not suitable for designers. I guess
the problem now is more of a lack of tools than excessive complexity of XSLT.
