XSLT is used to transform XML data so for example you might take 2 elements of <first name> and <family name> check the <culture> and create a new <name> element of "firstname familyname" if the language was English.

XPath is used to navigate to specific nodes in an XML tree

so if you have

<root>
<child>
<statement>Colin smells of wee</statement>
<child>
<root>

then "/root/child/statement" would go to that element (as well as lots of fancy complicated stuff with a syntax as complex as perl.

XSL-FO is used to convert XML to a page based format such as PDF or to HTML
