The encoding of your .xsl file is declared to be "UTF-16" in your xmldecl.
This means that the .xsl file must be saved as Unicode (I usually use
Notepad under Windows 2000 to do this).  If you've saved it as a regular
ASCII file, your declared encoding will not match the actual encoding.

You need to check the msxmlDomParam.parseError.reason when you load.  If you
do, I'll bet you'll see this error: "Switch from current encoding to
specified encoding not supported.".  When there is a parse error, the
document will consist of a single root node, so the .XML property will
return the empty string.

All in MSXML 3 July edition:

1) Take the following identity XSL.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
  <xsl:output method="xml" encoding="UTF-16"/>
  <xsl:template match="/ | @* | node()">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Load it into a DOM like so:

msxmlDomParam.Load(Server.MapPath(localFile))
msxmlDomParamXML=msxmlDomParam.xml

msxmlDomParamXML will now equal "" i.e. have no value.

2) Change the encoding, so that it is now UTF-8. And "msxmlDomParamXML" will
now be the XSL style sheet.

Doesn't this strike you as rather odd?
