Have you tried using the IE5 diagnostic environment that is documented as a 
free resource on our web site?  This allows you to create an HTML file 
using your IE5 XSLT as an outboard process.

This will allow you to see precisely what is going on behind the scenes by 
giving you the Microsoft results of applying the stylesheet.  If it doesn't 
match your hand-crafted example, that should show you where you need to 
change your stylesheet.

I've heard some people also use this process to create stand-alone HTML in 
parallel with browser-based XML using the same IE5 XSLT script (which, BTW, 
isn't compatible with W3C XSLT).

I hope this helps.
