CSS is great, true, but for client-side only and with browsers that 
support it! 

We're actually XSL to work today, on server-side, selecting style-sheet 
depending on client making the request and generating output on the fly 
(and not only HTML clients). That's great, and I don't have to wait for 
browsers to support neither XSL or CSS 2 (that will take years before all 
browsers do). Meanwhile, whenever there's a CSS-capable browser making a 
request, simply select an XSL style-sheet that generates CSS. XSL spec 
changing? Hey, fine-tune the server-side program and everything is ok. 

For me, XSL is for server-side and CSS is for clients-side. 

See Sean Russell Docproc for a good example of server-side XSL put to 
work today:
