I think approach 1 is most common. Another possibility, which you don't
mention, is that the web browser has an XSL processor that understands XSL
formatting objects, it downloads the XML file and renders it according to
the corresponding XSL stylesheet. This approach doesn't use HTML at all. 

There is a perl implementation of XSL mentioned at
http://www.xmlsoftware.com/xsl/
I don't know how complete and up to date it is, but you can take a look!

I am very new to XSL and XML and don't quite understand how it fits in with
the web?
Is it intended that 
1. an XSL processor sits on the server end, and generates html files? Or
2. the web browser has an XSL processor, and so it downloads the XML file
and corresponding XSL style sheet and generates the html itself?

Does anyone know of any perl implementations of an XSL processor?
