From a "document" perspective, push IS much simpler. With web applications, I find myself dealing with XML messages (via SOAP, Jabber, subroutines, etc) that are mainly packaged up information not really a "document" in the traditional sense. So I think we have discovered that depending on your application for XSLT, different perspectives are useful. This has been a great discussion for me. I hope for others as well.
