The temptation of having an all-XML workflow is really big, and 
many yield to it - SVGMath also started as an XSLT stylesheet :-). 
However, when it comes to extracting kerning data from font files, 
or implementing an algorithm to find the minimum width layout of 
a table, XSLT is not my tool of choice. I tried it but didn't succeed, 
and defected to Python halfway. I wish you good luck.

Best regards,
