The presentation layer is usually done in a presentation based
language... which xslt may or may not be involved with creating.

There's nothing in xslt itself to do with presentation or layout.

Have a look at Saxon CE for an entirely new way of working on the
front end - it really is something completely different.  It uses xslt
as a kind of replacement for javascript, where event handlers are
defined in template match patterns, and dom manipulation is done using
xsl:result-document.
