No. XML/XSLT is more flexible than JSP and has been supported bunch of
other markup tecnhologies like XML, XHTML and XPath for a long time.
Keep it if it works. Don't forget that modern browsers can accept XML
and have built-in XSLT processor. So, you can send your serialized
bean data as XML with linked XSLT stylesheet with linked CSS
stylesheet.

You can do it in Struts 1.x too. Instead of forwarding to JSP page
just stick XML (or XML/XSLT already processed into HTML) into response
object and return null from an Action class. Apparently, you would use
ActionForm for input only with request scope, and store your app data
somewhere in the session or in database.
