Modern computers systems need to parser information between ERP / CRM /
MRP II / etc and it is far easier using a common language XSL. What
will happen there will be a device probability software agent (bot) that
learns any data format and automatically translates it into a usable
formats.

Richard - there is only one major flaw in this concept!
XSL is not the right tool!! XSL is a style language, it is being
pressed into service as a business information transformation
toolset. It is poorly suited for the role.
Fortunately people (including the W3C!) are working on
successor and better equipped tools.
Message: don't bet the farm on XSL, even for forms,( see xhtml, XForm
are showing better ways).
Your example above also pre-supposes that all XSL processors
give you consistent results. This is simply not the case, only
talked about right now. XSL is a complex tool, and from complexity
comes several side-effects that limit its usefulness.
However, used sparingly, as it was designed to be, XSL can deliver
good results, albeit at a cost in programming time.
