You use xml for storing content and logic of your documents, style is not
a concern for xml.

If you want the contents of your xml documents to be presented in a web
environment, you "have to"/should transform them into html on the fly
using stylesheets. Apache Cocoon is an XML publishing framework that lets
you hook into for instance a database to get the documents, transforms
them into html and by the help of a web server (for instance Tomcat) feeds
html based on your xml docs to the user. Thus you have a data-driven
web site based on xml.

Cocoon is rather flexible and can work with other data sources and
web-servers as well as xindice and Tomcat

See documentation of Cocoon at http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/
