Along that line, you could also use something like AxKit on the backend. It's based on the same premise, xml/xsl/xslt transformations; even mix that backend with client side css on the front end. This is a win win if you want to repurpose output for more than just html for browsers from your site. It even has an AxPoint plugin, so you could translate the same xml doc into a .pdf output by doing something like ?media=pdf with little extra work.

Regardless how what you choose, anything is better and two seperate pages just for two seperate looks on the same content.

Yes, I'm a HUGE fan of AxKit.
