I think the biggest problem to be solved is how to specify which stylesheet
to be used on a request by request basis. Up until this point, I had been
assuming that this needs to be done external to PHP; now I am not so sure.
The cocoon guys found that the pipelining of this data (having the filter
consuming it as it is being produced) to be very important - otherwise the
web servers memory requirements was excessive and the latency before the
beginning of the output was an issue.

So would I. For the moment, I am going to continue with Cocoon
integration, but for the longer term a PHP native implementation of a site
map would be worth exploring.
I am still interested in hearing if post-processing PHP output was what
people had in mind, or if there were other interesting ways in which people
were thinking of using XSLT.
