With extreme difficulty, in the general case. The same RDF can be
serialised to XML in multiple different ways, which XSLT will have
trouble dealing with.

Converting RDF to an SVG diagram of it is certainly possible, but XSLT
is not a suitable tool for it (even without the variable syntax, you
then need to implement a graph layout algorithm).

Instead, have a look at GraphViz
