Looks nice. And it would simply require to make XSLT objects callable. Still,
there are two functions in XSLT: apply and tostring, so maybe the right API
would be something like
class XSLT:
def __init__():
"parse and prepare"
def __call__(to_what):
" apply it"
def __str__():
"get the result"
tr55 = XSLT(some_xslt_tree)
xml = str(tr1(tr55(some_xml_tree)))
