Not sure if you've written this, but a general FSXMLTemplate (not just 
XSL) would be nice for the rendering of xml Page Templates. In 
particular the problem I've wrangled with is inserting dynamically the 
<? xml parts at the top, for example what I really want to do is

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="rss.xsl"?>

Where that really needs to be:

<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="rss.xsl" tal:attributes="href 
string:$portal_url/rss.xsl"?>

For this I was going to extend .metadata so that it you could add in 
extra tal attributes statements, then when the Page Template is rendered 
these would be processed and inserted. No code to do this yet, just 
thinking. So in .metadata I was thinking of adding:

[xml]
xml-stylesheet=href string:$portal_url/rss.xsl

In my XSL PageTemplates I dont think there is anything specific to being 
XSL, I've faced the same issues writing RDF too... so that's why I'd 
suggest a generic XMLPageTemplate product.
