DSSSL is the style language, originally for SGML. It uses scheme to
manipulate tree representations of the document, ultimately to produce a
printed document, but obviously you can do lots of other things.
One interesting twist, their scheme has no side effects (no set!).
For its supposed "simplicity", XML parsers are remarkably complicated
beasts. I would describe XML as a rather poor, but well defined
solution to a problem I'm not sure we had.
