It's fairly hard to design a language that has recursion and an if construct that is not. If provoked I could probably implement a Turing Machine engine in XSL. Using strings as tape. Then in principle you just need to code up a TM emulation of a Java virtual machine and encode the class files of XT in the language on your tape, set the thing running, and come back in a year or two when it's done.
