Well, a lot depends on your detailed requirements and on where you are
starting from (in both technology and skills), but my preferred target
architecture would probably be: use XSLT server-side to generate HTML, CSS
to render the HTML, and XForms to handle the user interaction. Using XSLT
client-side is viable, but I don't see many benefits over using it
server-side.

Subject: [xsl] Modern web site design with XML and XSLT
You can't find a book with that title. Some naive questions.
I'd like to take an ecommerce online application I've written
and convert all its drop-down, CSS, blinking lights, Ajaxy
goodness to all XML/XSLT all the time but, as I have just
started tinkering with this, I run into articles about how
browsers of today don't support XSLT or it won't work with
HTML5 and all those other things that make one question
whether the effort is worth it. I think XML is ideal and I
don't know why I couldn't convert everything over.
I need either encouragement or discouragement that my
(unknown to you) web site that uses bleeding edge modern web
development techniques (CSS3, HTML5, Ajax/Javascript/DOM,
etc., works in all browsers) can be completely recreated
without worry of gotchas halfway through the process. That
something won't ever be supported so I'm stuck and all that.
