That seems like a great approach, as it could easily be employed in  
contexts outside [x]HTML, such as DocBook.  In fact, an XSLT-based  
doc viewer would be wond'rous to behold :-).

In another fact, a poor man's version of the above would be  
comparatively simple...transform the source XML file into XSL-FO,  
then process *that* into RTF/RTFD and finally load into an  
NSAttributedString.  I don't remember seeing any FO processors which  
weren't in Java though...and the above process might be quite expensive.
