XSL-FO
XSLT and XSL-FO are related as variants on XSL (eXtensible Stylesheet Language). However, FO refers to Formatting Objects, whereas XSLT refers to Transformations. The difference being that XSLT transforms from one format to another and FO is intended to be used in areas where exact output/positioning is required - such as in printing.
Sites in XSL-FO
TeXML
Although this is not an XSL-FO tool, it is used in typesetting. Given that it was posted in 1998, it would probably be overtaken by XSL-FO now. The materials also include an example of MathML markup transformed into TeXML, with PostScript generated using TeX.
