I think <xsl:apply-templates select="foo"> is a lot more intuitive than the equivalent javascript. Many will be at least familar with the way tags work. Someone here made the point that there is a division of labor in the dtp world - generally speaking text editors (what most of us think of when we think editor), art editors (they prefer to be called directors, and are responsible for look and feel type issues) and technical editors (responsible for the actual production). It is this last group that is extremely fluent in automating their processes, and is largely responsible for transforming the work of the other two areas into a finished piece. As a group, they are highly likely to understand it, use it and stretch its limitations.

But then, non-programmers can learn programming too. What we really want is evidence that non-programmers can learn XSL more easily than they can learn (say) Javascript.
