XSL Transformations (XSLT) is much more than that. It is a general purpose system for transforming XML into other kinds of XML, or into non-XML. One usage would be to convert certain XML schemas into HTML. It seems the obvious tool for the job, and time invested in learning it much more rewarding (in terms of future usefulness) than learning the murky internals of Acrobat.
Transforming tags without restructuring must be among the simplest of XSLT transformations. (I've never used it, but I know of it).
