I agree. But is it a real mode or just that it is an old implementation of msxsl2 v2.x that calls itself v3? I guess the only way to find out is remove all msxml versions and ie6 and then re-install ie and see what happens when you try and transform with script. But I'm not going to try that. If it is the latest version of msxml and the encoding is utf-8 then it should support utf-8 and nothing else. If there is no encoding specified then I guess it can go through the machinations of working out the encoding and drop into some "broken mode". After all the flaming ms has had over the bad support of xml/xsl in ie5 you would think that they would at least try and get ie6 right!!!
