No.
Any well-formed XML document can be represented as a tree of nodes. XSLT is
based upon this model - an XSLT transform is a set of rules where each rule
consists of a pattern to be matched against elements in the source tree.
Whenever there is a match, a template is executed to create part of the
result tree.
