Hmm...perhaps in the area of caching. For example we do a site that 
gets data once a day. Under the old system it queried the DB for 
every page request. Under the new system relevant queries are 
executed and saved off as XML which is transformed via XSLT. Now 
everyone views a static page instead of checking the DB every time. I 
think XSLT has certain benefits and can make things easier/better.

However, something like a cocoon framework maybe shouldn't be 
tailored to just one specific app server so perhaps it shouldn't be 
in your mind to try and 'fit'...
