Instead of uri parameter you can also have some kind of "properties"
file on the disk user and then define there the view (xslt) the client
will see.
If that was a client/server environemnet you could use cookies also.

OK. In this environment, you need to code some Javascript to invoke
the XSLT transformer.
Let us suppose you choose a query parameter named style. Then the user
must invoke a URL that ends with ?style=style1, for instance.
In your Javascript, you then invoke the transformation corresponding
to style1.
Or you might choose to have two query parameters, named view and
language (perhaps).
Then the user calls a URL, say:
http://my.host/my/master/page.html?language=german&view=tabular
Then my/master/page.html would, after loading, invoke some javascript
which would inspect these two query parameters, and invoke the
appropriate stylesheet for a German tabular view.
Or you might invoke the same stylesheet all the time, and pass it the
two parameters.
Or you might have one stylsheet for all tabular views, and pass it the
language parameter.
It's up to you how you want to structure it.
