I must confess I am not an expert on XML matters. I'm currently
learning/evaluating it and I simply cannot reply to your question. If someone
more knowledgeable in XML/XSL wants to give authoritative information?
As far as I know, there is currently no XSL processor at all in Debian
(non-XML people will be happy to learn that there are at least three proposed
standards for stylesheets in XML, with no clear winner, so this lack is not an
obvious problem).
xslj has two huge strengths: it works today and it's free ("free as in free
speech, not as in free beer").

XT has nothing to do with XSL, as far as I understand. FOP outputs only
Adobe's PDF. And it is apparently non-free: there is not even source code,
only a Jar file.
