Well... for just about any scenario where I would use XSLT, and demand the validation capabilities it provides, I can imagine the same functionality being delivered in javascript... I can also imagine trying to do QA on it when provided by a third party... thanks, but no thanks.
XSLT solves some serious problems in a way that satisfies some serious Enterprise demands. For any given issue a pure code solution will be better, but in aggregate you don't want your systems open to third party incompetence.
