DSSSL or XSLT (was Re: [docbook-apps] Chunking at the chapter level)

BTW, I am also new on DocBook, and I would like to hear your opinion on
what is better to use: the SGML + DSSSL or the XML + XSLT. Of course, I
understand that the XML can be used in more ways than just for making the
documents (it could be processed by any program which understands XML),
and that's a great advantage. But what would you recommend? or what do you
use the most, for that matter?.

Thanks a lot for your opinions.

P.S. if you think this is off-topic or holy-war like, please reply
privately. Thanks.
