Pier, Smalltalk and XSLT

[Steve Lloyd]

I'm currently investigating approaches to an update/rewrite of a 
publishing system we've developed (using Rails) which takes publications 
stored as Docbook XML and renders a series of webpages with navigation 
according to a set of common themes switched by metadata in the source 
file. Pier looks a promising candidate,  either on Squeak or Gemstone/S, 
but I get the impression that Smalltalk XSLT libraries are fairly scant. 
Is this right? I guess there would be the approach of calling out via a 
web service or FFI to other libraries, but any advice would be appreciated.
