It's always been this way as far as I can remember. Okay I guess
IXSLProcessor explains the situation.

I was wondering if there was some api in MSXML to do this, perhaps a
hidden one that anyone was familiar with.


MSXML's IXSLProcessor object supports asynchronous transformations:

so presumably IE is using a compiled version of the stylesheet and
processing it this way.

I'm not sure which version this was introduced in, but the examples
on that page use MSXML 3. Perhaps somebody with a suitably old and
unpatched version of Windows could determine whether the behaviour
you describe was exhibited by older IE versions using the earlier
versions of MSXML.
