You could convert CSS to XSL, in theory.

>say in html we do style by tag name for e.g
>table{sssss}
>td{ssssssss} etc,where as in xsl:fo we have elements like
><fo:table>
><fo:table-column>
><fo:table-row>
><fo:table-cell>

table{sssss} means that for the element <table> *in your source*, apply CSS 
formatting "sssss".  The equivalent statement in XSL would be:

<xsl:template match="table">sssss</xsl:template>

The formatting elements you list (<fo:table> etc.) would be results:

<xsl:template match="employees">
   <fo:table>
     <xsl:apply-templates/>
   </fo:table>
</xsl:template>

As a simpler example, in CSS, if I want <name>s to be bold, I'll do this:

name { display: inline;
        font-weight: bold; }

In XSL, it's

<xsl:template match="name">
   <fo:inline font-weight="bold">
     <xsl:apply-templates/>
   </fo:inline>
</xsl:template>
