Hmm, you need to code the extension in java, or? Since
xsltproc is open source it seems like little overhead.
I could imagine a plugin architecture, but that would mean
dealing with dynamically loaded libs (and that's a pain,
even with libtool -- or maybe partly because of).
If there's interest i could provide some code, but i never
tested it outside the realms of OSs in my office ;-)
