I would think the tool of choice would be XSLT, not Haskell. The saxon xslt
translator is pretty good for command line translation. The microsoft XSLT
latest Beta xslt is good too.
What xml parser are you using XML in haskell? I am familliar with this
stuff: http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/fp/HaXml.
I am thinking of building an XSLT translator in haskell and need some place
to start. If there are any suggestions on tools and techniques I would be
happy to hear them. I am researching combinator libraries now.
I have configured this message so that replies should go to haskell-cafe
automatically.
