I think that this is the correct argument against a two-step transform.
It is worth noting that DSSSL's first-step is optional, not implemented
by Jade, and not relied upon by any of the stylesheets I am aware of. In
other words, it is optional in every relevant sense. It would be strange
if the DSSSL "subset" for the web made it mandatory.
