For those that don't know me, I'm a member of the Documentation Team. I 
also have some background with XSLT (not as huge as neysx, our leader, 
has, but still I'm not really a begginer in this area).

That said, I completely agree with the choice of latex in this 
particular case. If there was a fixed request on GudeXML, this document 
would not have been at all written yet.
