but what do you mean by this? do uou mean just serving a plain xml file (when
IE and FF apply a default xsl stylesheet to convert it to html).
Yes that's what I meant.
even FF and IE do not apply that default XSLT to the result of an xslt
transfomation, which is what you seem to imply should happen If you use
xml-stylesheet to generate xml rather than html, and don't use
xsl:processing-instruction to insert another xml-stylesheet into the result,
it seems FF/IE/Opera/Chrome all do the same thing and generate the elements
but apply no particular rendering (so effectively you just see the text)
This seems to be the behaviour I would expect from the relevant standards.
You are right. It had been a while since I had done a transformation
in the browser, but actually neither IE nor FF apply the default
rendering after a transformation; the default rendering is only used
for plain XML files. Sorry about that.
(Here's why the default rendering is useful though, and much missed in
Chrome: many interactions with web services use XML and it's nice to
be able to set them up / debug the protocol in a browser.)
