I actually agree - now I can see you turning the resultant, styled, XML into
JDOM, like so:

XML -> XSLT -> XML -> JDOM

to work with. Or, if the XML at the beginning is dynamic, you might have:

JDOM -> XSLT -> XML -> JDOM

But if you are really taking an XML document as is, convert straight into
XSL processors and save some time :)

(See, even JDOM nuts can be rational at times :) )
