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.

I just tried converting my website over to XML/XSLT. Seems to be viable if your work can be done in XSLT v1 on the server side. I ended up with a variety of live XML and generated static HTML. The advantage for me now is that my web content is all in XML so future updates will be much easier.

A company I worked for during the dot com days had produced an applet that let us do XSLT on the client side. It seemed to work well once it was down loaded, it gave us all the power we needed and seemed to be fast enough and we could do what we wanted.
