I don't know, but from what I've seen (and I'm on Team MM, so I have a little inside info) the layout currently, looks like the HALO components. Which is the look and feel of the new components released with Flash MX 2004.
The look and feel will also be full customiseable. The thing to remember is, that although you can markup the interface with MXML, it doesn't mean the default layout that Flex comes up with is what you need to use. ActionScript will still be a pick part of all this and you'll be able to have just as much control over the interface as you always have had.
So, the XSLT for Flex is probably, the way I'm viewing things at the moment anyway, ActionScript.
Once again, MXML is there only to provide instructions on what interface elements you need, and all Flex does is to take the MXML and convert it into a SWF. From there, you'll still need ActionScript to respond to all the actions and events from the user (another good thing is, you can include limited ActionScript within MXML).
Hope this helps...

That all sounds very kewl, Sean.
I am wondering, though, how "sexy" the Flash interface would be when generated from that MXML ?
Or is there something akin to XSLT (MXSLT??) as part of FLEX/Royale that can tell Flash the layout to use ?
Furthermore, are there any plans to have some CFMX extensions (e.g. either CFX tags. <CFIMPORT>, CFC's or otherwise) that can take MXML (and whatever method of translation is available) and "generate" the HTML pages from the same MXML source for "html" based versions of the same system ?
