AFAIK, it is not possible to use JavaScript/ECMAScript inside either XML or XSL 
files. But you could convert XML to HTML with Javascript, using XSL.

XML files can be used without XSL, it depends on what you are doing. XML can be 
used with CSS to render simple pages in a web browser. If you want to actually 
change the XML into, say, HTML, then you will need to use XSL.

XML and XSL can both be written dynamically using a scripting language like 
PHP, Python or Perl.
