well if you don't need to generate the html dynamically each time there
is a request for a page, you can just use a command line processor (I
tend to use saxon) and generate a pile of html pages. Once you have
those you just copy them to your server in the normal way.

For example many w3c specs are made that way, eg:

http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/PER-MathML2-20030804/

consists of around 240 html and xhtml+mathml files all generated by
saxon (running on my old windows 98 laptop, as it happens)
and then copied up to the w3c's web server. The html files should be
viewable on any reasonable html system, not requiring any special
xslt knowledge. All the XML sources and stylesheets used to generate the
pages are available in the xml source zip file linked from the front
matter of that page.

Conversly the OpenMath site http://www.openmath.org is all generated
dynamically by cocoon (on a machine in the corner of this room) which
uses the xalan XSLT engine internally. Rather than pre-process the XMl
sources into html as we do for the MathML spec, we just upload the xml
to the server and the html is generated on the fly when there is a
request for a page.  cocoon has its own mailing lists (which I'm not on) and
support pages (ask google).

The MathML spec cited above also has examples of the first option,
client side XSLT to be processed in a suitable browser. If you select
the link to the XHTML+MathML version of the spec, then you get sent an
xhtml page plus a client side xslt stylesheet that does "whatever is
necessary" to enable mathml support in the browser you are using.
That stylesheet used is described at http://www.w3.org/math/XSL.
