There is also the templates parser for the Ada Web Server.
That should already handle JavaScript as well as XML.  It may
be that the ACM folks wouldn't care if the code came as GPL.
The parser is embedded in the Web Server code and the templates
are brought in as external files.  In principle, this should work
"in a browser in a cell phone on a desert island".  [Interesting
situation - a desert island with a full-blown power plant to
recharge the phone, plus some way to beam in the text to be
translated.  I suppose such an island also has a laser printer.]
