They were really needed for IE and Nestcape < 4 and will useless as time
goes by...

Yes.

That seems pretty tricky since some transformation are context dependent
and depend on the element and attribute... You would probably end up
rewriting a XML parser and that's easier to work on a stream of SAX
events than on the text of a XML document.
A looong time ago, I have written a XHTML output method for James
Clark's XT and that shouldn't take me long to use it for a XHTML
serializer... I'll see what I can do.

Yes, and the reason why there is no XHTML output method for XSLT is that
XHTML 1.0 has been published after XSLT 1.0.
BTW, your old competitor Cocoon has a XHTML serializer :-) ...
