It seems pointless to write what probably amounts to at least a couple
hundred lines of Javascript when XSLT seems to be able to do what I
want it to.  And since XSLT seems supported by IE and FF (from my
limited tests) then that seems like the ideal choice.

@Pavel: Can you give a quick run through of your code for me? I think
I have the idea that the code runs from the last section and the
others handle what happens. data_?.xml gets passed in and chunk_?.xml
get's passed out.  However the data.xml's don't provide a reference
for the xsl stylesheet. How does the browser know what to do? I'm
going to knock up a quick test with GWT so I can see it in action.
Pity there isn't an XSL debugger than you can step through like java
or c++.
