Looks great. I use Highcharts.js responsively by simply setting the chart width to % rather than pixels. After all, scalable is a key part of SVG. Noting that Chartist is much leaner than Highcharts, how do you envision differntiating this project and avoid feature creep to make it like Highcharts.js 2.0?
XSLT can create client-side charts without JavaScript. For example: http://davidjarvis.ca/world-politics/xml/resources.xml The source code is hosted on BitBucket: https://bitbucket.org/djarvis/world-politics/src/master/xml/ Without JavaScript, the interactivity of the charts is limited.
Also most data is in CSV or similar delimited format and won't be usable with XSLT.

SVG in general falls over with very large datasets, I find html canvas based libraries such as maybe Flot better for thousands upon thousands of datapoints. I love d3 as much as anyone and all of it's offspring, but SVG is too slow in most browsers (especially Firefox) for lots of datapoints.
It is interesting that you cannot copy SVG out of your browser. When I visit the page in Chrome, mouse over the graph and "copy," it doesn't copy either the BMP buffer OR the raw SVG (XML). I was going to try and copy/paste into Outlook, but that's obviously no-go if you cannot copy at all. Interesting limitation of SVG that I wasn't aware existed until now.
var canvas = document.getElementById("canvasElement");
var image = canvas.toDataURL("image/png");
document.write('');
Looks very pretty, but doesn't seem to offer hover states or actions / tooltips. I think this is a dealbreaker for a lot of users who wish to add contextual information to their charts.
When I think responsive it's in a mobile first paradigm. There is no hover on mobile.
This library looks to appease a lot of the design customization so far though, great job and kudos to the author for what looks like a really good start.
Is there any chart system that is made with live updating in mind?
This website is using SVG graphics, very nicely. Is there a tool (GUI) that does that? Is it an export from a program like Illustrator, or is there something easier --and cheaper-- to do this?

Are people still adopting XSLT for new projects? It seems it has fallen out of favor.

Each recipe was created from the same XML recipe data, transformed using two different templates. To my knowledge, JSON cannot be directly transformed into *TeX, but XML can.
To achieve the similar results with JSON, you'd have to first transform it to YAML, then Pandoc, then LaTeX, then finally PDF. Then you'd have to use a different infrastructure to render JSON as XHTML.
Architecturally, in this case, XML/XSLT is the simpler solution. If you only care about mobile apps, and don't need to create beautiful ebooks, then XML/XSLT is not a good choice.
