I was simply saying that the default "XSLT" with IE 5 was not XSLT. It is confusing because there is implementation in the sense of something that *can* work (MSXML 3) and there is implementation in terms of what Microsoft is spewing out on a massive scale at a given time. XSLT as a specification has been available for some time. A client-side implementation has been available for some time to programmers. But an average person downloading IE 5 or 5.5 would know nothing about it. Finally, with IE 6, there is a *relatively* usable implementation (sadly worse than what was available to programmers with IE 5/MSXML 3) being distributed on a wide scale to everybody.
