The complexity of your (XSLT, I assume) stylesheet isn't a good measure.

IMO it's better to have a few developers spending 200 hours on
developing a XSLT stylesheet and the average content author needs 5-10
minutes for marking up his HTML with hReview/hCalendar/hCard/etc... than
a few developers spending 20 hours on developing a XSLT stylesheet and
the average content author needs 20-40 minutes for marking up his HTML.

Just my 2 cents,
 Robert
