RE: XSL in IE5


Keep comming to this mailling list for a couple of months more and 
you will notice how fair David is being.

Notice that:
 - I am a MSXML 3 user myself;
 - David mentioned that
   "MSXML3 looks like it will be a fine product with full support 
   for XSL".

You may have a 17% vision but you know how to search for stuff in 
the Web. In practice, that seems to lead to better results than 
having a better vision but not being good at searching. 

The fact is that this mailling list receives a lot of questions 
like the ones mentioned by David.

The problems he mentions are a FACT.


Have fun,

Paulo Gaspar
