Actually, Gecko's support of XML is quite good. Its support of XSL,
however, is for the moment non-existent. That's where your problem probably
lies.

Assuming your next question will be: How can I use XSL for both major
browsers *now*?, the answer which I (and many others) are pursuing is to
use XSL to transform the XML document into HTML, using a tool such as James
Clark's xt. This is rather more static and hence, maybe, uncool, but it has
the singular advantage of being backwards-compatible with some earlier
browser versions as well.

Let us know if you need more information!
