I'd have to ask _why_ you want to do this?  What "new thing" are you
expecting to get from using XSL ?

You can't serve XML / XSL over the web (you could, but it's not a good
idea)   -- all it can do for you is to be a better way to make HTML on
the server, then to serve that HTML.  So you have to ask how you're
making this "back end" XML, then which part of the process it can help
you to simplify.  There are many good reasons to do this, but we'd have
to know more about your particular idea to suggest more.

You don't need to know all that much XML / XSL to to use them.  A lot of
database -> XML -> XSL -> HTML sites can be built by first hand-coding
one "results" page in HTML, then converting this into an XSLT
stylesheet. The XSLT you need to know for this is pretty simple and
standard across all uses - a good textbook (try Michael Kay's) will
help.

One of the most convenient XSL tools I've found was XMLSpy, but the
version I used was too expensive and buggy to recommend it.
