I don't see XML (and XSL/DSSSL/whatever) conflicting with a template based
approach to web design. Your designers won't have any desire to learn XSL,
and if you start adding style information to a XML structure in PHP (be it
with LibXML or Expat), you've lost your separation again.

LibXML is great anyway, of course, and a XSL processor inside PHP would be
greatly appreciated. :)
