Just a note, here. XSL is a kind of super-category that includes both transforming (XSLT) and some kinds of formatting (XSL:FO). There are major religious issues around FO, and I can't see any reason at all for using it in this context (the Mozilla engine, Transformixx, does not support it). So XSLT would be the only sort of "XSL stylesheet" that makes sense in this context, and all it does is transform XML (sort, restructure, transform into HTML,etc. ). All of the display characteristics can easily be taken care of in CSS (colors, size, margins, etc), which is a much more robust standard at this point, much more widely known, and what Mozilla uses internally for displaying XML as well as HTML.
