That's neat stuff. It will really help me to "sell" XML as a replacement
for expensive tools like Balise and Omnimark. The last thing we needed was
a DOM-compatible pattern-based visitor.

Just so you know, the bounty is almost entirely about the formatting
object side. There are a plethora of transformation-side implementations
for Java (too many, thanks for doing a Python one!). Sun is trying to
kick-start the formatting side. The media support was pretty vague because
Sun hasn't worked out and published the details yet.
