[David Mitchell <david.mitchell@xxxxxxxxx>]

Michael Kay has a chapter on this in his book:
http://www.amazon.com/XSLT-XPath-Programmers-Reference-Programmer/dp/04701927

He identifies and explains four XSLT design patterns:
Fill-in-the-blanks stylesheets
Navigational stylesheets
Rule-based stylesheets
Computational stylesheets
