No.  XSLT was designed for formatting-by-transformation, while CSS was 
designed for formatting-by-annotation.

That may not feel like competition to you, but to people who are primarily 
interested in the formatting, it's competition.

(For people who _just_ care about transformation, it's not competition, 
since CSS isn't much about transformation.  That's not my perspective on 
this issue.)
