Seems like a good time for a Kernow plug:

http://kernowforsaxon.sourceforge.net/

Kernow was originally designed for performing directory transforms -
all you'd need to do is write a transform which converts XML to HTML,
which is as simple as:

<xsl:output method="html"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>

Kernow compiles the stylesheet and uses caching URI and entity
resolvers for performance.  It can be run using the GUI, from ANT or
from Java using its API.

It's available in English, French and German - if anybody would like
to contribute other translations I'd be grateful... (there's not much
to translate, I'm guessing it would take no more than an hour or two).

thanks!
