The hack that will allow both XML data and XSL stylesheets to be embedded in
an HTML document is to code the document as  application/xhtml+xml with the
XHTML elements in the XHTML namespace and the embedded XML data in the null
namespace.

Here is an example:

The hack that willl allow xml data islands to work in both IE and Mozilla is
to add a style attribute to the xml element with the display set to
"none"...

so:

<xml id="dataisland" style="display:none"> ....
</xml>

coupled with:

document.getElementById('dataisland').innerHTML

will give you a copy of everything contained within the start and end xml
element.

Cheers :)
