XSLT is just XSLT, regardless of if it is Icecast or something else.
The recommended workflow is:
- download /admin/stats from your icecast instance to have a reference
- write some cool XSLT
- use "xsltproc your-cool.xslt stats.xml" to verify output
- repeat previous two steps until you like the result
- drop XSLT file into webroot.

There are plenty of resources to learn about XSLT, e.g.
http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/

If you need examples, I've pointed out my old (crappy) XSLT files.

If you hate XSLT, use the JSON API.

If you look at Icecast 2.4.x  - you will notice that we do indeed have
in the Icecast web interface <audio> html5 elements for streams that are
using supported formats like Opus or Ogg/Vorbis.
