Thanks, but I don't like perl.

Why use a script language additional to xslt?

Wouldn't it be nice to have a very simple environment that provides:

http://example.cu/compiledXSLT.exe/path/to/test.xml?one=1&two=2
should do the same as: 
xsltproc test.xsl /path/to/test.xml --param one '1' --param two '2'
an deliver the result to the client browser.
-------------------------------------------------

You can take a part of the URL as the path to the xml-file
using apache ForceType:
<location /compiledXSLT>
       ForceType application/compiledXSLT.exe
</location>

--------------------------------------------------

Why do it this way?
==============

o Write complite WebApplicatoins in XSLT
o No need for an additional scripting languages
o Speed if it's possible to do this with fastcgi and caching
o protect the xslt-stylesheet source (if it's a comercial application)

--------------------

I have no idea if this is possible with libxslt, but XSLT is the
language I like. I hate it to mix it with Java, PHP, Perl, Pyton,....
