See the attachment. Though, I don't think there is anything extraordinary
with our forms. The refered XSLT stylesheet includes our general XForms
engine and contains formatting information for this particular form.

Unfortunately not. It is a project of my company.

I consider this an advantage, not a disadvantage. Various formatting
languages can be used then, even those that you - as one of the authors of
the XForms specification - don't know about. The forms authors should not be
bounded to any particular formatting language.
