We use XSLT a *lot* as we are dealing with environments which pass a lot of messages around in XML (finance). Essentially, when we get something from a third party (say a confirmation for a trade), we use XSLT to transform that into a format that can be passed directly to another service of ours. Doing it with XSLT means we don't need to explicitly parse the messages, and changes are easy and quick to apply.
