Yes. For sure. I though XSLT was something like XML not other
"language" and that Python will have any library that uses XSLT to do
transformation...but, what you suggest is:

- First process the XML document with Python (sax?) and do the first
Latex document.
- Second process each log with Python and insert the information in
the Latex document created in first step.

Do you think this approach is the best? Fastest, clearest, more
maintenable? Is this the way you will do it? It seems good for me but
I would like to do this properly.
