Nowhere near; it may be adequate for many XML inputs, though, especially if you have the freedom to tailor your XML for easy CSS display. You can declare tags as block, inline, table, table-row, table-cell, list and other types. You can specify borders, margins, spacing. You can add literals before or after the content of tags.

Go to http://www.mozilla.org and download M13 or one of the nightly builds, then use it to go to http://zvon.vscht.cz/ZvonHTML/Zvon/zvonTutorials_en.html and check out the CSS and CSS2 tutorials.
