However, while using an XMLDecl is good practice, neither the XML spec nor
MSIE 5.5 require it. The grammatical production shows that you can have zero
or one instance of XMLDecl:

[22]  prolog ::=      XMLDecl?          Misc* (doctypedecl Misc*)?

See http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#sec-prolog-dtd

So Gayathri Sundararajan's advice is not "terrible," though it might be a
bit of a kludge! %^}

What terrible advice. If you don't know the answer, either say so, or don't
reply at all. Do not guess.

Kumar, do *not* remove the XML declaration. An XSL stylesheet is an XML
document. The XML declaration should stay. Ask your question on the XSL-List
or on the microsoft.public.xsl newsgroup. And as Linda said, read
http://www.netcrucible.com/xslt/msxml-faq.htm.
