In Java, this picture is extensible to:

[XML Document]----SAX--->[================]
                         [ XSLT Processor ]--SAX-> [XML or Text]
[XSLT Stylesheet]-SAX--->[================]

You can therefore transform anything into anything as long as you
can/want write a SAX parser or handler for this.

You can find some examples on 4xt which illustrate this statement:

http://4xt.org/downloads/examples/csv/
http://4xt.org/downloads/examples/outputhandlers/formatedtext/

Hope this helps.
