The MSXSL Technology Preview only accepts URLs.  Your ASP response page will
probably have to write the reponse out into a file in order to pass it to
MSXSL.

IE 4 does not accept XML as a MIME type.  Instead you must have an HTML
wrapper page which instantiates the MSXML parser and give it the URL for the
XML data.  There are several examples of this on
http://www.microsoft.com/xml.

The current MSXSL processor must be invoked from an HTML page as well -
examples of this are at http://www.microsoft.com/xml/xsl.
