Does sitemesh look like functionality with XSLT?

I recently asked about using XSL / t to create a site layout and child pages here . Where the layout will decorate the child page. I want to expand this idea and come up with SiteMesh functionality. Please note that I will have a very small number of xsl layout files, most of my xsl files should be for child pages. The layout is quite simple, it includes a heading, a main menu, a footer, a body with the contents of a div below it. SiteMesh allows you to define template files as a fairly standard html file, and then child pages that will override parent sections. For example, here is the basic template (decorator) for sitemesh:

<%@ taglib prefix="decorator" uri="http://www.opensymphony.com/sitemesh/decorator" %>

<head>
  <title>
    <decorator:title default="SiteMesh Tutorial Example" /> - Site Title
  </title>
  <style type="text/css">@import "css/global.css";</style>
  <decorator:head />
  <body>
    <div id="header">
      <h2><a href="http://www.my-site.com/">Mysite.com</a> goes here</h2>
    </div>
    <div id="content">
      <decorator:body />
    </div>
  </body>
</html>

And here will be an example of a child page:

<html>
  <head>
    <title>Child Page</title>
    <style type='text/css'> 
     p { margin: 10 }    
    </style>
  </head>
  <body>
    Content Goes here
  </body>
</html>
