Me too. I've been thinking about XSL-based literate programming on and off
for the last year or so. At various times I've considered writing FOP in XML
and having a stylesheet produce Java source from that XML.

There was a mailing list xml-litprog-l[1] that unfortunately seems to have
gone into hibernation.

Perhaps not surprisingly, Robin Cover has collected material on the topic at
[2].

I'm not aware of any effort to use XSL for literate programming, although,
as Ken has pointed out, he has used DSSSL.
