Forgive me if you find this a supremely stupid question, BUT...

Is CSS used for anything other than HTML documents?

I though XML was supposed to be styled using XSL

Whether you use XSL or CSS to style XML depends on what you are trying to do. Unless you need significant transformations to the setup (such as outputting HTML) you may find that CSS can handle everything needed to style the XML and CSS is easier to read (most of the time) than XSL that does the same styling.
