Tough call. I'd say it depends. If <customer-data/> is going to be replaced with "John Brown, 40 Main St." then I'd say a transform. If <customer-data/> is going to be replace with a large amount of other XML data (i.e., <records><record><field .../><field .../></record><record><field .../><field .../></record></records>) I might think about doing a generator.
I don't love the concept of transformers reading XML from another source and piping it. Just my preference though - it's your call.
