Mike & Others,

You might look at how Cocoon uses XML and a pipeline architecture to 
publish content. Performance is becoming less of an issue with
compiling 
transformation tools. Look at XSLTC for more information on this.

The purpose of XSL is to transform an XML document into something else.
 It
could be XHTML, or comma separated text, or another XML document.  How
you
choose to use it is up to you.

Overhead in using it does seem to be high enough that it looks like
companies are building appliances to handle XSLT processing
