Why do you want to do DSSSL and not XSL? If XSL is really a superset of DSSSL as claimed, there seems to be few advantages in going the DSSL route. There are several xsl based transformational tools that will convert xml output to html. It seems that xsl (or CCS) will be transformation/presentation language for the Web. I know that DSSSL is probably still first in the minds and hearts of diehard SGML folks but it seems a bit of dead end. Any takers on this argument?
