If you want to use XML and XSLT then consider doing that on the server 
(e.g. with ASP or with ASP.NET) where you can be sure you have an XSLT 
processor. Then you can simply build HTML documents dynamically and 
include anything you create as the result of an XSLT transformation.

Doing XSLT client-side in the browser is pretty restricted, only IE 6 
with MSXML 3 comes with an XSLT 1.0 processor, then Mozilla/Firefox and 
recent Safari versions. But scripting XSLT transformations is different 
in IE 6 and Mozilla and as far as I know not possible in Safari.

In terms of HTML all you can do is e.g.
   <iframe src="glossary.xml"></iframe>
where glossary.xml then references your stylesheet e.g.
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="glossaryStylesheet.xml"?>
