I believe there is a way to separate content logic and design with JSPs.
JSP has kinda similarities with XML because the JSP tags follow the XML
syntax. You can also define your own JSP tags using tag libraries.
But there are not enough examples about how to use tag libraries, so if
you have some, share them ;-) In fact I have developed a web application
with JSPs and faced with some lack of examples/doc about this technology.
You can read Sun's point of view on http://www.javasoft.com/jsp
The right thing will be I think to combine the best of both worlds.
But XML is more adapted if datas are static: the browser requests an XML
file, which can be linked with an XSL stylesheet.
Then, some clients are able to display such XML files (Mozilla, IE5).
Otherwise, the server can also be used to generate HTML from XML
files using the Cocoon servlet (see java.apache.org),
