I don't think that the first point was as much of a boon as one might think: the HTML flow object set supported was nearly useless for pre-CSS browsers (such as the still-widely-deployed Netscape 3.0) since it didn't include most basic HTML element types like <UL>. There is room for a simple XML Transformation Language (XTL) sharing much of the structure and syntax of XSL -- you could use XTL to create XML, HTML, or even generalised SGML output.
