XProc
XProc is a World Wide Web Consortium recommendation language for designing XML pipelines.
Current Status
Update: We just set up a subversion repository for the source code for the examples: http://code.google.com/p/xproc-examples
Please let us know if you would like contribute source code to the examples.
