Great :) Giving up easy is also a think we need to avoid :)

Usually when I test my implementation (basically by going into firefox 
typing things) I would like to see a very *basic* XSL that could convert 
the output into something more useful.

For example with a node I would like to have a direct link to the api 
call that shows me all relations or ways the node is part of. Or when I 
request a way/full to see a basic SVG/Canvas outline that is clickable 
per node.


I was very into XSL myself, but if someone would like to work on the 
above idea I would love to give some support.
