If you are a newbie with xhtml and html it is not a good idea to try to 
also use xml and xslt all at the same time. Instead of downloading the 
spec (which is notoriously hard to read for many) you should try one of 
the many books or tutorials on html / xhtml. Once you find yourself 
familiar with html, it is time to learn new techniques. But also with 
XSLT and XML: don't try the spec, it is a hard read, try any of many 
tutorials / books first.

About "best way": that very much depends on the situation, the skills of 
your people, the adaptability of your team and the knowledge you have of 
the needed server side (and/or client side if you want to include AJAX 
or client-side XSLT) technologies to get it all running (and of course, 
to create a maintainable whole).
