I actually haven't tried HAML and SASS yet either -- the reason I linked to
the SassFilter was that it's an example of an extension that implements a
filter.
I may not be understanding your use-case correctly, but who or what is
producing this XML?  And why could they/it just use standard HTML tables?

I guess no matter what you could use either the filter or radius tag
solution depending on what fits your situation best.
