Sure thing. XSL provides a semantic-free vocabulary for representing
content. The DOM just juggles tree structures. CSS just annotates those
structures for presentation. XSL provides a quick path from semantic
documents to semantic-free presentation that is _possible_ in DOM+CSS, but
is neither easy nor recommended.
