Jonathon,

Not wanting to reiterate your arguments (which are quite nice, by the 
way) I would argue that an XSLT document is not necessarily one 
transformation.  Specifically, if you allow for named templates, then 
the correlation between an XSLT document and a set of class methods 
becomes somewhat stronger, especially if you utilize the <xsl:import> 
command. 

<xsl:stylesheet ...>
    <xsl:import href="subfilters.xsl"/>
    <xsl:param name="method_name"/>
    <xsl:template match="/">
            <xsl:call-template name="{$method_name}">
                    <xsl:with-param name="data" select="."/>
            </xsl:call-template>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

In this way, the parameter method_name effectively controls 
which "method" is called. This is effectively your proxy stylesheet.

More tomorrow, when I'm a little more cogent ....
