I loved the idea of using XSLT rendering to take an well formatted XML document and process it client side in the browser, but it came with more problems than it solved. The tooling was terrible to accomplish it, but different browsers reacted slightly different to the XSLT, some had a flash of unstyled XML followed by it rendering the page using XSLT, JavaScript didn't work right since the page had to be served as XML not as HTML, Adsense my ad network at the time didn't work with it either. XSLT had potential, but it never really caught on, and now we just have JavaScript frameworks that do all the rendering client side using JavaScript instead.
