The significance of this trick goes far beyond just adding styles to RSS. The common practice is separating the the Human-readable interface (HTML) from the Machine-readable interface (XML) and build both of them on top of some source layer(e.g. a CMS or Markdown files) XSLT allows you to use XML as the source layer and build a presentation layer on top of that. Admittedly, the styling workflow can be cumbersome but you get a browser-supported templating language that seems Turing complete (anyone confirms?) and with the power of CSS, you can pretty much get a full featured static site generator that runs on the client! I've seen styled RSS once in a while and never thought about it until now. I'd love to give this technique a try. It feels like one of those Semantic Web ideas that should have taken off decades ago.
