Let me count the ways... - XSLTXT - the XSLT compact form https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/xsltxt/ - compactxml https://pypi.python.org/pypi/compactxml - NiceXSL http://nicexsl.sourceforge.net/html/overview.html - Carrot http://www.balisage.net/Proceedings/vol7/html/Lenz01/BalisageVol7-Lenz01.html - RXSLT http://www.wilmott.ca/rxslt/rxslt.pdf - Lx http://nxg.me.uk/dist/lx/ - Alternative SDL-like XSLT Syntax http://www.gerixsoft.com/blog/xslt/sdl-syntax - XQuery 3.0 http://www.w3.org/TR/xquery-30/ and there's probably more that I couldn't find in a quick search. As David points out, none of these (apart from XQuery) are used generally enough to be generally useful.
