Unofficial MSXML XSLT FAQ When Internet Explorer 5.0 was first shipped in 1998, Microsoft shipped an implementation of XSL that was based on the current working draft of XSL at that time. Millions of copies of this XML/XSL processor were burned on CDs and were installed on systems all around the world. Since then, the XSLT specification changed very significantly (even the namespace changed!) and was finalized. So the situation as it is today (12/4/2000) is that there are millions of copies of a parser out there which does not (by default) support the latest XSLT specification. It is quite common for people to write to the xslt-list asking for information about why some operation does not work in Internet Explorer 5.0.
