You should note that HTTP-proxy based systems will not be able to do any inspection or modification of traffic for sites using HTTPS. Browser-based systems like greasemonkey work better for that. Since you mentioned xslt, there is someone at [1] mangling web pages using xslt with a greasemonkey script that you could use as inspiration.
