Hi, I think TAL ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_Attribute_Language ) would be the perfect match. There are some implementations in XSL and Javascript. Converting the templates to XQuery shouldn't be too hard either.
Concerning performance - IMHO XSL is fast enough. In the end it's most likely not your templating engine that slows down your application.
