Well, technically XSLT just transforms the markup.

IIRC, you can apply CSS to XML, but I don't think this would be
applied in something like Google Reader where it's extracting the
individual items rather than viewing the feed as a whole.

Of course, RSS/XML is only markup, so presentation should be handled
by the user-agent. Not that that stops people stuffing it with HTML
<b> and <i> tags...
