We've found that XSLT works very well when your primary objective is
to deliver static content (flat files, or cache-able catalog-like
non-changing stuff) to different clients requiring different formats.

When the content is dynamic (read from a database in response to a
request and bean-ified for presentation), then using XSLT to further
transform that data degrades performance too much.  You're better off
using straight Java to do the transformations at the point of
"beanification".
