You can define a specialized "view" for these objects, implemented
by an ExternalMethod that performs the XSLT transformation.

The PyXML package contains an XSLT transformer ("4xslt").
When I used it some time ago, it was horribly slow.
The authors claim they made drastic improvements meanwhile (I did not
verify).

I would probably go for "libxml2", a set of XML processing tools
(including an XSLT processor) implemented in C with Python wrappers.
Search Google for "libxml".
