XSL is a programming language, its turing complete at least.

Client side XSLT isn't (generally) a great idea though. You do want
search engines to be able to read the menu, don't you?

Preprocessing solutions work well if you have no server side
programming environment available on the server. They also have other
advantages, such as making it easier to handle cache control headers.
