XSL processor authors - how about this approach?

Has anyone considered this kind of solution for server-side XSL? :
Take the stylesheet, parse it and generate a custom servlet to perform this
transformation. Then everytime XML needs to be transformed, this servlet
could be run. This approach is a bit like JSP. You can do thorough
optimisation when creating the servlet. It may even be possible to identify
sheets that don't need random access, and switch to serial mode for those,
saving memory.
I would think that having custom generated Java code to move the data around
would be faster than trying to figure out the stylesheet at run time. Great
potential here for a performance boost?
