Depends on how you define good. But XSLT is defined, available as a C
library - with Python bindings if you want them - and was designed to
do that job, among others.
On the subject of making LyX use XML as a native format - please don't
do that just because XML is the flavor of the month. Only do that if
it buys something real. XML is mostly good as a standard for document
interchange (it's used for lots of other things that it's not good
as), which doesn't seem to be useful to LyX's native format. The other
thing it buys you is the ability to use XML tools. Unless there's one
that provides functionality that doesn't already exist in LyX, that's
not a win either.
