Okay, I will put a particular use-case to you then. Suppose you have an 
database file with rather ugly set of attributes. (ie highly normalised 
or coded attributes). In an ideal world you would construct a view that  
delivers human-readable form and serve that from geoserver. However, if 
you dont have admin access to its particular database schema, then you 
are stuck with what you have. At the moment you can construct FTL or 
make readable on the client. The XSLT would allow for an alternative 
through say GML->JSON or GML->HTML. However, you might have two 
use-cases for the same data - one where you want it pretty (say info in 
a popup) and another where you want the raw attributes because you are 
offering editing of attributes and must pass back the proper data. If 
you could specify which transformer to use, then you have the 
possibility of a GML-> pretty GML for popups and plain one for editing.
