I guess what would make sense (bear in mind i havent grokked any of the
template classes in depth), is to subclass the phplibs template to make
the xslt. I dont know whats different about xslt from plain html but i
can think of some instances from my limited knowledge (xml/xslt has
display logic in it, html has none of that).
