I also think you have a point that there's really no way of knowing how much client-side XSLT processing is happening.

Obviously not very scientific, but we should be able to at least derive some generalized figures via,

http://www.google.com/search?q=filetype:xsl+%22document(%22 = 21,100
http://www.google.com/search?q=filetype:xslt+%22document(%22 = 30,300
http://www.google.com/search?q=filetype%3Axslt+OR+filetype%3Axsl = 363,000
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=%3C%3Fxml-stylesheet = 423,000
http://www.google.com/search?q=%3C%3Fxml-stylesheet+filetype%3Axml = 13,200
http://www.google.com/search?q=%3C%3Fxml-stylesheet+type%3D%22text%2Fxsl%22 = 196,000

Of course what good are numbers if they can't be compared to something else to provide proper context/perspective,

http://www.google.com/search?q=%3Cscript+type%3D%22text%2Fjavascript%22+filetype%3Ahtml = 1,450,000

... which if you ask me it seems a bit much to assume there are only 1,450,000 documents with an html filetype in which contain the string <script type="text/javascript", so I think we can safely assume that the above numbers represent a small fraction of the total number of XML and/or XSLT documents that contain the various strings suggested above that are accessible to Googles crawlers.
