ActiveRenderer and OO

I posted this awhile back.  Since then, the author of ActiveRenderer 
has sent me the files necessary to convert and render the OPML outlines 
to HTML.  Is someone with Applescripting skills interested in helping 
out here?  What I envision is a "render to web" button on the OO 
toolbar that would save the current file as OPML, then run an XSL 
transformation on it using this scripting addition:

Ideally, it would then automatically upload to via curl (though I 
suppose that could be done via a folder script?).
