It seems to me the question is not the format of the portal, but the format
of the underlying data. What format are your sources in? Or, are you not
planning on having modification of the sources, merely their placement in an
HTML layout? If so, you'd probably be better off without XSLT, and use some
sort of templating system.

Hope this helps,
