My <airport> use case is an example of (a). The <airport> element provides information. An aircraft flight management system (FMS) uses that information to fly the airplane.

No. Your two examples are the same. They are just data encoded in XML. As being discussed at present in another thread, the xsl:value-of might just be input data to a process that produces canonical xslt, or Xquery or whatever. Conversely the airport xml could be processed by some auto-pilot system to control a flight . In what way are the two fragments different?

My <xsl:value-of ...> use case is an example of (a). The <value-of> provides information..It demonstrates, for example in this email, aspects of XSLT syntax.
