Thanks for posting the code. 

I am running IE 5.50.4522.1800 (IE 5.5 SP1) on Windows NT Workstation 4.0
SP6. MSXML 3.0 is installed and IE is using it. I tested with an arbitrary
XML document that uses your XSLT code above, except that I changed the
action URL to one that would work on my system. My conclusion? You are
right. I would say you have in fact discovered a bug in IE 5.5. I have
gone ahead and submitted a problem report with Microsoft.

More specifically, what is happening is that IE is constructing an HTTP
POST request like this:

POST /printenv HTTP/1.1
Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, application/vnd.ms-excel, application/msword, */*
Accept-Language: en-us
Accept-Language: en-us
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=---------------------------7d12923af101b8
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 4.0)
Host: skew.org
Content-Length: 178
Connection: Keep-Alive
Cache-Control: no-cache

-----------------------------7d12923af101b8
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file1"; filename="C:\WINNT\Profiles\mbrown\Desktop\uploadtest.xml"
Content-Type: text/xml


...note there is no data after the last line, there is no ending boundary
marker, and the Accept-Language header is duplicated. 

If the HTML from the XSL file is loaded as a separate HTML document, the
post results in this submission (which is correct):

POST /printenv HTTP/1.1
Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, application/vnd.ms-excel, application/msword, */*
Accept-Language: en-us
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=---------------------------7d12b119f101b8
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 4.0)
Host: skew.org
Content-Length: 449

-----------------------------7d12b119f101b8
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file1"; filename="C:\WINNT\Profiles\mbrown\Desktop\uploadtest.xml"
Content-Type: text/xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="uploadtest.xsl"?><!-- for IE -->
<blah/>
-----------------------------7d12b119f101b8
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="submit1"

Submit
