browsers from 6 up have MSXSLT, but you have to call it from

If you are using client side xslt then can't you can just serve as
application/xml which IE does work, and use the xml-stylesheet pi to
link to the xslt? The main disadvantage to using application/xml as
opposed to application/xhtml+xml is that things don't render as html
by default, but if you are using client side xslt that isn't an issue.
There is no such workaround in IE, that I know of, that doesn't either
break the "back" button or throw the browser into quirks mode. Calling
XSLT via Javascript keeps IE in standards mode, making it possible to
write a small CSS hack file for IE 6, instead of having to maintain
different CSS altogether to support all versions of IE. IIRC, though,
client-side XSLT doesn't change the Content-Type of the document with
the XML PI, so if that document is application/xml then its output will
be also, instead of being rendered as HTML -- meaning good luck getting
forms and such to work, even if you can get them styled. So I stick
with text/html for IE, with a standards-mode DOCTYPE, and the CSS links
are in the <head> of the document the client receives, for performance.
