That is what i don't understand. The mostly installed IE version there is 5
and 5.5. They are all have msxml2.5.
The microsoft were rather soon on markt with their "XSL". I can imagine
there is a couple of Applications there, that use it.
Why don't they (microsoft) support it properly any more....
Unfortunately i can not force internet user to upgrade only for using my
application. So i have to fight ;).
