Comparison of stylesheet languages
Appearance
CSS was suggested in 1994 by Håkon Wium Lie. XSL started off as an attempt to bring the functionality of DSSSL, particularly in the area of print and high-end typeseting, to XML. A W3C Working group on XSL was started in December 1997. Originally XSL had both presentation and transformation capabilities but a new standard was then created and thus XSLT was empowered for more robust transformational operations.
