I already tried this route, unsing Jirka Kosek's profiling stylesheet.
It was because that was such a serious pain in the butt that I started
tool-building.
"Let's do everything in XSLT" makes a nice theory but it falls down
hard in practice. The first serious stylesheet hack I tried ran
smack bang into an XSLT limit that shouldn't have been there.

xmlto provides such a wrapper shell. I'm digging into my references an
shell to see if there is a way to redirect the standard error of a
process without stepping on stdout.
