Yes, take a look at what an XSLT stylesheet can do. You can make a stylesheet to translate an RSS feed into a nicely formated HTML page. You can write a short serverside script to return database results in XML and display them accordingly. It seperates the data and presentation (Or Model and View, in the MVC concept), which often times is done with some sort of clunky template system or having the script directly return html.
