I've spent the last couple of days at home, one foot swollen twice its normal size. Weird. Can't drink, can't walk anywhere, so I'm cooking up some code.

A couple of years ago, I looked at XSLT, and quickly put it down again: too verbose, too difficult to debug (all that declarative stuff); waaay too slow. But now I revisit it, things aren't so bad. InfoPath (and FrontPage, apparently?) are XSLT-wizards; you get a "90% HTML, 10% XSLT" mix. On the other extreme, my play app's stylesheet is "95% XSLT, 5% HTML" - and still really concise and readable.

The stylesheet is working against a (reasonably big) DOM object model which dynamically updates itself from a variety of web services. That's fun.

Question, for anyone (remember, this is just a back-burner stewing in the corner): if you had a command line interface to Groove, what should it be able to do? What sort of commands would you look for? What shell-type facilities (pipes, etc)? Assume that the main UI is "tail -f" over a stylesheet over a DOM.
