There's no intrinsic reason why it should be hard. XSLT does nearly all its
access to source documents by means of explicit XPath expressions (with
minor exceptions like xsl:number), so if you've got an XPath engine to
access the database then you're 90% of the way there. The main difficulty is
likely to be optimization: it's hard to work out by static analysis what a
stylesheet is doing, and therefore whether it can take advantage of indexes.
