XSLT is a transformation language typically but not always from one xml
vocabulary to another xml vocabulary or html.
ASP is a framework for server side programming of content for a web
server.
So these aren't really comparable. people do all sorts of programming
called from an ASP page, including running XSLT if that is appropriate.

If you had to convert (any) XML document into html I think it
would almost always be preferable to use XSLT rather than one of the
languages more commonly called from asp eg vbscript or javascript.
But choice of language is more to do with personal prefernce than
anything else.
If you were not using XSLT, how would _you_ get from

to
http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-xslt-19991116
for example?
