That depends. An XHTML file has some well-known vocabulary (well-known 
through the wide-spread support for HTML), and any web browser can do a 
decent rendering of it. XML+CSS most probably has a vocabulary that the 
browser has little knowledge about, and thus it will depend on the CSS 
to render it. That can bring trouble if the CSS provided is only for 
_visual display_. What about non-visual browsers? What should the do 
with XML+visual CSS? XHTML they can probably deal with with built-in 
default rendering for its vocabulary.

Very few authors provide aural CSS with their XML files.
