Well, I thought the 'good' model of the web was schema-based XML was your data, XSLT was your representation structure logic, HTML was your representation structure, and CSS was your representation styling. But the ship sailed on that one a while ago...

The road to hell is paved with XSLT. It was a good idea, but early 00s X-everything were terrible implementations.

XSLT is an unpleasant language (particularly for beginners) but implementations I've seen tend to be correct and stick to the standard; what trouble did you find yourself in?
