My method of doing this is using the "Standard" Tag Library from the Taglibs project to do my XSLT Tranformation. My JSP's are really very simple, only containing XML that has title, heading and form elements. Then I wrap each page with the <x:transform> tag and specify the stylesheet.
My only "application" issue left is determining which stylesheet to use for the client. With plain client-xsl, this is easy because there is a "media" attribute that you can specify "wap" and such, but not with the transform tag. Also, I think it's important to create a stylesheet that allows for just spitting out the XML, in case I ever need to expose pages as web services.
