PHP -> XSL doesn't quite feel like much of an improvement in terms of cutting down on the verbose redundant code boilerplate required to insert something. ie: <xsl:value-of select="title"/> doesn't look much better than <?php $this->text("title") ?>, as opposed to {$title|escape:html}.
This seems an argument for using the preprocessor for the skin system, in order to include the variables into the raw html.
