Yes, this is the primary goal of XSLT.
Now, XSLT as also been extended to generate HTML (true HTML, without
</br> ;=) and even text documents.

You can select the format through <xsl:output > (see
http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xslt#output)

Yes and no.
You can have different style sheets selecting different output and
including a common style sheet with all your core logic.
