Re: [xsl] xml-stylesheet in browser results / mime type association

[Michael Dykman <mdykman@xxxxxxxxx>]

I don't know much about the auto-launch issue, but if you want to
effect the mime type, you need to add it as an attribute of the
xsl:output element like so:

<xsl:stylesheet>
<xsl:output  media-type="vnd.google-earth.kml+xml" />

...
</xsl:stylesheet>
