XSL Transformation

[Malfunction]

Im pretty new to using xsl and all Ive done so far is using xslt to transform xml to xhtml.
Now Id like to know what other transformations are already in use (not only in experimental stage). I know xml to pdf is already in use but what else?

thx in advance

p.s. Im just asking as Im collecting pros and cons of using xsl.

I see it used quite frequently to format RSS feeds being displayed within the Web browser.

The biggest use, before formatting became big (HTML and PDF), was for interfaces. That is, transforming data from one XML schema to another.

For example, its easy to get data into XML from a Database - the DataSets GetXml() does that for you. But many webservice consumers will want the data in a specific XML layout. Imagine a healthcare system in .NET that needs to send some data to other companies (Dr/Provider information, client/patient information, etc.) for processing. The other companies may still be expecting EDI (a semi-standard) or NTS formatted data.
