An excellent solution and universally standard.

When XSL came to scenes it became like a wildfire, and to be honest, I 
did very light work with it; never much to speak of.

If memory does not fail me, you can host your XSL files in your own 
server, the XML documents will point to your XSL for
formatting definition, which meant that by editing one XSL document, you 
effectively altered every XML related to it.
