No, I don't understand what you mean?

I mean that the content produces XML (for instance through some python
code, or by some automatic form of translation):

class MyView(grok.View):
   def xml(self):
        return "<data><a>1</a><b>Foo</b></data>"

myview.xslt (broken XSLT here, I don't have the syntax at the top of my head):

<html>
<body>
<p><xsl:value-of path="/data/a" /></p>
</body>
</html>
