This is my own compilation on this topic (and related ones):

There was also the "Turtles" project, part of the Thomas Crutcher
Dunnavants' Master Thesis:


"Turtles is a XSLT+flex+bison+libxml transform system which takes as
input a domain language description, and yields a transform program
which takes the described domain language as input, and yields an XML
AST as output; beginning the process of bridging the gap between
external data forms, and XML forms suitable for XSLT transforms."

If you ever develop a similar tool, and make it publicly available,
please let me know.
