[xsl] Cross browser PIs

["Chris Bayes" <chris@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just thought I would pass this on if you are writing xml with stylesheet
PIs and you want them to work cross browser

Msxml old versions: will use the first xml-stylesheet PI in the document
to transform regardles
Msxml new versions: will honour the alternate="yes/no" pseudo attribute
in the document to transform
Netscape new versions: will use the last xml-stylesheet PI in the
document to transform regardles
So if you have 2 or 3 stylesheets MS-TR-WD.xsl MS-XSL-Transform.xsl
NS-XSL-Transform.xsl
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" title="old msxsl version"
href="MS-TR-WD.xsl" alternate="yes" media="screen"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" title="new msxml version"
href="MS-XSL-Transform.xsl" alternate="no" media="screen"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" title="any new version"
href="XSL-Transform.xsl" alternate="yes" media="screen"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" title="netscape new version"
href="NS-XSL-Transform.xsl" alternate="yes" media="screen"?>
<hunky-dory />
Everyone will be happy ;-) Well as happy as anyone can be with
netscape...
