It's a general purpose way of generating whatever you want. With the right XSLT (and yes, there are tons of books, articles, etc on this subject...just do a search for XSLT !?) you can turn XHTML into RSS, HTML 4.01, Atom, plain text...anything at all. Or am I missing something fundamental in your question? Are you complaining that the W3C don't explain every single use you can put XSLT to?
