I see another reason for me:
I recently came to XSL (from CSS). I was enthusiastic about the
patterns, was very pleased with the tree transformation and
control structures and was horrified by the formatting part.
I prefer much the orthogonal, context sensitive concepts of
CSS over the myriads of (e.g.) alignments in XSL (a la
"justify" versus "justified").
If the formatting part does not become clearer and
easier to remember, I will use XSL-Pattern and XSL-Templates
together with CSS for the presentation of XML documents.
