Is it possible using a server side xml parser to have it create a html blob that it is then included in a existing html page?
Thanks

A:
Is the existing HTML page already being served by the same server? If so, then yes - arguably that's a rough description of what almost all web frameworks do, to a greater or lesser extent: insert some dynamic content within a static template.
Which bit are you concerned about?

I am building a context sensitive menu system that will live on a number of pages. I have done it before in a somewhat clunky fasion in javascript but am wanting to try out xml and xsl. Basically I am not wanting to head down the wrong path.

The right course of action will really depend on which web app platform you're using.

A:
Most languages should have XML libraries or parsers available to facilitate this.
For example, PHP has an XML parser.
Write a function using this to take a given XML feed, pretty it up, and spit it out. Then call this function in your HTML page.
