If you reverse the method and include your data in the xsl:stylesheet
(example below) it will work with all browsers. Remarks:
- tested with IE 6, Firefox 3.5, Opera 9.6.
- the PI would work also with an empty href (exept IE)
- the file embedd-test3.xsl was served with application/xml
You are right, that does work, but it is not what xsl-url is about:
(see http://www.stamm-wilbrandt.de/en/xsl-list/xsl-url/#listings)
The idea of xsl-url is to have
- one data file (cdcatalog.xml)
- one stylesheet (cdcatalog.xsl) referenced by that data file
- many different files cdcatalog.1.xsl, cdcatalog.2.xsl, ...
just "referencing" the data file and the stylesheet (indirectly,
via cdcatalog.xsl.xsl).
This has the advantage that any change in the data file (cdcatalog.xml)
is immediately visible to all referencing data files, and each data
file may pass in any information (the query string in the samples)
without any side-effect -- and this with pure XSLT ...
If embedding the data file into the transformation all files
(cdcatalog.1.xsl, cdcatalog.2,xsl, ...) would have to be modified and
are difficult to keep in sync.

It is fine that most browsers but IEs support stylesheet embedding.
My interest in this was to eliminate the need for file
"cdcatalog.xsl.xsl"
by incorporating "something" as embedded stylesheet into "cdcatalog1.xml"
and "cdcatalog2.xml" from posting "../200906/msg00070.html"

After some searching I was able to get the cdcatalog sample below
working:
(http://www.stamm-wilbrandt.de/en/xsl-list/cdcatalog.xml if you want to
click).
But it is working for Firefox 2/3 and Opera 9.64, NOT for MS IE6.
I found neither negative nor positive statements on IE 6/7/8 support
of stylesheet embedding while searching the web.
Does anybody now the answer whether any of the Microsoft browsers
supports
stylesheet embedding?
It does not look like that is supported with IE. IE 8 when I try your
test case http://www.stamm-wilbrandt.de/en/xsl-list/cdcatalog.xml
seems to sniff the content and try to interpret it as text/html
meaning you end up with a browser window displaying the contents of
the first title element in the window bar and a table with only the
header row as the contents of the document followed by any text nodes
in all those unknown (to the HTML parser) elements like artist, country.
