Using XML-transformation for AST manipulation isn't my first choice either - yet efficiency concerns aren't really the point here - after all we're talking about generating code, which would be pretty useless if the work was to be done by the transformation instead of that very code generated ... So the question is: do XML/XSL give an advantage here? As I said - I personally don't think so, IMHO a standard reducer using a decent visitor is easy enough and works well.
