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.
Yes, stylesheet embedding is not supported for IE6/7/8.
But I found a work around -- stylesheet "ApplyEmbeddedStylesheetIE.xsl"
allows IE browsers to process embedded stylesheets!
The stylesheet may be found here:
http://stamm-wilbrandt.de/en/xsl-list/ApplyEmbeddedStylesheetIE.xsl
The first comment of that stylesheet explains how this works:
<!--
ApplyEmbeddedStylesheetIE.xsl (1/24/2010)
Thread "[xsl] question on support of stylesheet embedding":
http://www.biglist.com/lists/lists.mulberrytech.com/xsl-list/archives/200907/msg00144.html
identified IE6/7/8 browsers being unable to process embedded stylesheets.
While Firefox always selects the last xml-stylesheet PI the
IE browsers always select the first one;
this allows for a browser switch on xml-stylesheet PI level.
Results in NO performance penalties for Firefox and enables
IE browsers for processing embedded stylesheets.
Samples for embedded stylesheets enabled for IE by this stylesheet:
http://stamm-wilbrandt.de/en/xsl-list/cdcatalogIE.xml
http://stamm-wilbrandt.de/en/xsl-list/chess/board5bIE.xml
The first xml-stylesheet PI href points to this stylesheet for IE.:
The last xml-stylesheet PI href references the embedded stylesheet id.
[use view (Page) Source in browser to inspect XML files]
Having an absolute href for the first xml-stylesheet PI allows for
copying around of XML files with embedded stylesheets while still
allowing them to be rendered by Firefox and IE browsers anytime.

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?
