Not quite.  You would use XSLT to generate XSL:FO output.  You would then use 
a tool like Apache FOP (or various others, free and not) to convert the 
XSL:FO document into a PDF.

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of 
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, 
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to 
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession 
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it."  -- Thomas
