I can give you a partial, in construction example:
www.pittpowerproducts.com
The product categories along the top and the contents of the "browse" box along the left side are xslt transformed from the same xml data. Also, as you browse those categories' lists of subcategories are also pulled from that same xml untill you get to the point of seeing actual part numbers. (as I said this site is still under construction - try browsing the mowers category for a few levels of depth)
Why did I choose to go with xml/xslt for this? I'm repeadedly showing the same data (or subsets thereof) in several different ways. That and the fact that it is naturally hierarchical data and therefore well suited to the hierarchical nature of xml.
If you're looking for entire sites done this way, I apologize for the static. If anyone does have examples of this (particularly if they explain why the site was done this way and how) I'd be curious myself.
