You'd typically write an XSLT 'program' to transform it into whatever
style you want. So, for example, we have an XSLT file that generates
the HTML that you also download.

We did not generate the printed book from this XML. If we'd realized
then that we'd be releasing the source, we probably would have, but
instead we wrote the original using LaTeX, as it let us mix
typographic control in with the text.

Sorry, I've got the flu, so a touch of pathos creeps out every now and
then. :)

The online versions are there to be downloaded and printed. I believe
they are now even making their ways into Unix distributions (thanks to
some great work by volunteers). Share and enjoy.
