No. XSLT was designed for formatting-by-transformation, while CSS was
designed for formatting-by-annotation.
That may not feel like competition to you, but to people who are primarily
interested in the formatting, it's competition. You seem to be looking at
the formatting properties side only, while I'm looking at the roles of
selectors and templates in formatting.
(For people who _just_ care about transformation, it's not competition,
since CSS isn't much about transformation. That's not my perspective on
this issue.)
