Well, in a way it is. XSLT is so well established that it is 
completely mainstream, and the cool kids don't talk about it any 
more. They (and we non-cool kids) are making increasing use of XSLT, 
but we now take it pretty much for granted.

Sort of like ball-point pens. They are so mainstream that practically 
nobody talks about them - they certainly won't get a mention in any 
list of exciting technology you might want to invest in. (On the 
other hand, all the cool kids who are advising that we invest in 
exciting new things have ball-point pens in their pockets or desks.)

So, is XSLT dead? Yes, it is so boring it is dead.

So, is XSLT dead? No, use is growing quickly.
