If you mean the obsolete Microsoft dialect, it's the first. They can understand some of what the other says, but the details are too different for them to really be interchangable. If you mean the XSL, the W3C Proposed Recommendation, then it's the second. XSL uses XSLT as part of what it does. Its job is to create displays from XML files, whether in HTML, PDF, or whatever. Part of this is transforming the source file into another XML file - that's the XSLT part - and part of it is specifying how to display the document - that's the job of Formatting Objects (FOs), which are specified in the XSL PR.
