  Extensible Stylesheet Language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Within Microsoft, the term XSL is sometimes used to refer to a Microsoft variant of XSLT developed as an implementation of an early (1998) W3C draft of the XSLT language, with Microsoft-specific extensions and omissions.
XSL started off as an attempt to bring the functionality of DSSSL, particularly in the area of print and high-end typeseting, to XML.
A W3C Working group on XSL was started in December 1997, with Sharon Adler and Steve Zilles as co-chairs, with James Clark acting as editor (and unofficially as chief designer), and Chris Lilley as W3C staff contact.

 XML.com: XSL Considered Harmful
XSL is a great danger to a major objective of XML, the inclusion of semantic information in Web pages, as it replaces XML elements annotated with formatting information by XSL formatting objects.
XSL is the most hideous and unwieldy language imaginable and stands absolutely no chance of acceptance by the web community.
XSL advocacy has blurred the focus of the W3C, by introducing competing standards for styling and transformation, and set back by at least two years the goal of vendor-independent, semantically rich "open information highway", by undermining support for existing standards such as CSS and the DOM.

 XSL - a Whatis.com definition - see also: Extensible Stylesheet Language   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
XSL (Extensible Stylesheet Language), formerly called Extensible Style Language, is a language for creating a style sheet that describes how data sent over the Web using the Extensible Markup Language (XML) is to be presented to the user.
Using XSL, you could tell the Web browser that the auto manufacturer name should be displayed, where to display it on a page, and that it should be displayed in a bold font.
XSL is based on and extends the Document Style Semantics and Specification Language (DSSSL) and the Cascading Style Sheet, level 1 (CSS1) standards.

 Cover Pages: Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL)
XSL (Extensible Stylesheet Language) is being developed as part of the W3C Style Sheets Activity: "W3C continues to work with its Members, evolving the Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) language to provide even richer stylistic control, and to ensure consistency of implementations.
An XSL stylesheet processor accepts a document or data in XML and an XSL stylesheet and produces the presentation of that XML source content that was intended by the designer of that stylesheet.
An XSL stylesheet specifies the presentation of a class of XML documents by describing how an instance of the class is transformed into an XML document that uses the formatting vocabulary." The draft describes the general process of formatting, including the "area model and the formatting-object descriptions and properties and [...] the process of refinement.

 XML.com: What's the Big Deal With XSL?
The XSL developers are addressing this latter process by actively contributing to the W3C Common Formatting Model and have incorporated CSS2 semantics in the XSL formatting semantics.
When I use XSL now for styling to the screen (as I have for this article) I use XSL for transformation and generate ordinary CSS semantics and syntax for rendering.
The (still-incomplete) XSL formatting facilities will be a superset of CSS semantics and will be in an XML syntax to accommodate the extra functionality required for the powerful semantic concepts being devised.

The original XSL Note (now obsolete) entitled A Proposal for XSL was submitted to the W3C by authors from Microsoft Corporation, Inso Corporation, ArborText, University of Edinburgh, and James Clark in August 1997.
This Note eventually became a significantly altered W3C Working Draft in August 1998 (renamed "Extensible Stylesheet Language"), with a second draft in December 1998, and a third draft in April 1999 (in which the XSL Transformations (XSLT) part was moved into a separate document).
On July 9, 1999, a portion of the XSLT Working Draft was removed and a third XSL spec was created: XPath, the XML Path Language.

 Semantic markup using XSL transformation 
The tool, which is an XSL transformation, looks within the XML source content for occurrences of words or expressions listed in the lexicon and then introduces a markup for each of these occurrences.
XSL, the language used to code this program, is a standard available on all operating systems (Linux, Windows, Unix...) and in all environments (JAVA, PHP,.NET...).
It is therefore possible to deal with large numbers of documents without depending on the platform used.

XSL has two parts, XLST and XSL-FO, and though the latter is little used as yet Professional XSL covers it thoroughly.
However, XSL suffers from a combination of creeping proprietary featuritus and incompatible "standards".
This is probably why XSL's most common use remains converting data to Web pages--though as the case studies show, it can potentially do far more.
