XSLT lexical scanner and parser generator

hi all,

this might seem a silly question..
has anyone here experimented with writing something like an XPath parser
in XSLT? as in XPath to, say, Java transformer?
the question is silly because XPath expressions are strings and XSLT
is really much better at XML than string handling... but nevertheless, it
should be possible.
once you've got the lexical scanner down, writing a parser based on an XML
representation of the grammar should be totally feasible.
hmm anyhow, just wondering..
