Mozilla does support XSLT, by a module contributed by Keith Visco from
Mitre. It is lacking in some areas, and some work I am doing may
eventually replace this module (in the next year or so).

They do not support XSL-FO for obvious reasons: it is still highly
contentious, and they wanted to have a bang-up CSS implementation before
wasting their time on much less useful stuff.

However, the point is well-taken. No current browser (even looking four
months into the future) supports XSLT reliably, and only when the two Big
Boys (IE, Moz) support it well will web developers begin to rely on it.
