Re: [xsl] Experience with XSLT in IE6?

Hi Manos,

Decision was made before I was involved.  I would guess that one reason to 
limit to a single browser was to minimize maintenance and 
testing.  Production version has to be rock solid.  IE over Mozilla choice 
probably due to existing installed base.  I use Mozilla myself and love it 
(though a later post on this topic says its XSLT support is buggy).
