I wrote some papers a few years ago about a thing I called "XSL Beans" 
that tied XML application data to XSL stylesheet for instantiation. 
The idea there was to support a mechanism for mobile applications/UI's 
that could be locally instantiated using the most appropriate UI for 
the local environment... kind of an XML-based applet if you will. 

The papers are online (I think).... but things have progressed a bit 
since then. The papers don't talk about the usage above because people 
had a tough enough time as it was.
