If you're sending the output to a CSS capable browser you can use CSS to
change the display order of things on the screen???  

It can be a bit of a pain, but basically as long as you use absolute
positioning and relative units (eg. % for width and em for height)
things work pretty well.  We have an entire system that uses XSLT to
generate lists of XHTML elements that are latter positioned on the
screen by dynamically generated CSS. As others have noted, the two
technologies do play well together in spite of the fact that they appear
to be designed to be antagonistic to each other.
