It doesn't need to be written from scratch, just integrated as an
extension to XSL, so that XSL can take structured text (in a non-XML
form) as input and parse it, and generate xml/html/text as output.

1. Compiler-compiler not needed as separate step in the whole process.
2. Definition of a standard syntax for EBNF using a DTD or XSD.
3. Entire compiler could be written in XSL.
4. An interesting platform for academic exploration of compiler design.
