Re: xsl:sort in old MSXML

I have the code that follows. 
In my machine I have IE 6.0, and MSXML 4.0. 

Then you can use XSLT.
MSXML4 _only_ implements XSLT, not the language that you were using.
MSXML3 (as used in IE6) implements both XSLT and the microsft-specific
wd-xsl language that your stylesheet used.

2) Does for instance a user of IE 6.0 be able to view the results and one of 
IE 4.0 not?
Clearly IE4 and IE5, which predate the publication of XSLT do not
implement XSLT, neither does xmosaic version 1 or other old browsers.
IE5 can use XSLT if you install msxml3 in "replace mode".

3) Which is the best approach to develop in a neutral environment that
be accesible for everyone (or at least 90% of the www users, not an
enterprise environment, where will be easy to install all the set
up required)? 

Use a standard language XSLT not a language that is only supported in
old Microsoft products. If you want to support old browsers, do the
conversion on the server, and serve html.

4) Why do we talk of different engines like Saxon, MS, etc.? 
Because they are XSLT systems, and this is XSL-list (I don't understand
the question)
