I am equally puzzled as to why people are using all sorts of crappy proprietory template systems instead of XSLT. It's particularly useful when dealing with WAP. I suspect the reason could well be the inconsistencies in compiling php with XSLT support. compiling the Sablatron module for perl on the other hand is a breeze and over the last year or so whenever i did anything with xslt it's always been with perl.
Can i contribute to your project?

I've just released the first distribution for an open-source project called XML Application Objects (XAO). It's the result of working with XML/XSLT in PHP for a couple of years now. Although this is an alpha release, the concept itself has gone through a lot of refinement and is now ready for prime time.
The publication of the project itself was partially motivated by the discussions that took place in this thread (A Complete List of PHP Template Engines?) which basically sees me arguing for the usage of standards (XSLT) rather than having to learn a proprietary new templating system every time you work on someone elses PHP app.
This project is the result of much blood, sweat, and tears so I hope someone out there finds it useful. I have made documentation a paramount considderation for the XAO API because I'm keen for it to be another PHP success story. The website has a tonne of information so I'm not gonna try and promote XAO in this message.
Please check it out...
