Interesting observation. I've been kinda hyped about XML/XSLT lately because I was working on a JSON macro expansion language (just four different macro tags that replace themselves with the macro's expansion, #= #& #? #! assignment, substitution, conditional branch like cond, and call for custom functions) and realised I was re-inventing XSLT, but what I really wanted was xpath, a way to describe traversal over graphs, back and forth along different axes, it's actually an amazing spec. Then I found basex [0] which pulls arbitrary XML documents into a queryable database that can be have queries described in XPATH or XQUERY. In my mind the best way to create a reliable natural language interface to a dataset without hallucination would be to hand over XML schemas to the system prompt and have it write the queries to retrieve the data.
