Are there perl-modules for the transformation of XML/XSLT into the
target markup?
If not this might be a major problem. This would require mhonarc users
to have a standalone XSLT-Processor that has to be run after mhonarc
updated the DB. (Preferably only transforming changed documents)

Unfortunately you can't yet rely on the browser to do this
transformation.
