What I wanted to do is use Java to perform what would otherwise have to be done in XSLT. I did some performance tests which indicate that for certain operations, such as changing the overall structure of an XML document, using XSLT exhibits a quadratic rise in time for increasing number of input elements. Using Java to restructure the document, it's more linear. I wanted to use XSLT just for the final application of presentation style.
