Have you tried using a stylesheet to generate stylesheets?  Failing that,
another mechanism would work (under Unix, shell substitution for example).

Thanks for your interest.  I'll be sure to let you know when I release it
next week.  Right now I have the grammar implemented but no functions or
node selection operations as yet.  If you'd like to start testing it when
the node operations are done let me know off-list and I'll send you an
advance copy.
