What's wrong?

Your URI string represents an archaic vendor-specific dialect of XSLT that was never standardized by the W3C and was only ever supported in versions of Internet Explorer. (by that I mean an archaic dialect, not an archaic vendor)


Use xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; instead.

                <xsl:value-of select="start"/>
                <xsl:apply-templates/>

BTW, the above code will give you "Hello World" twice, once for the xsl:value-of and again for the built-in template rules that will be triggered by the xsl:apply-templates. In IE5 you wouldn't get the double results because the processor for that vocabulary doesn't include any built-in template rules.


I hope this helps.
