This should be a faq by now. The underlying defaultss.xsl is not an
xsl-t it is fact wd-xsl. Here is an xsl-t version:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!--
  IE5 default style sheet, provides a view of any XML document
  and provides the following features:
  - auto-indenting of the display, expanding of entity references
  - click or tab/return to expand/collapse
  - color coding of markup
  - color coding of recognized namespaces - xml, xmlns, xsl, dt

  This style sheet is available in IE5 in a compact form at the URL
  "res://msxml.dll/DEFAULTSS.xsl".  This version differs only in the
  addition of comments and whitespace for readability.

<!-- Note that in the following templates for comments
and cdata, by default we apply a style appropriate for
single line content (e.g. non-expandable, single line
display).  But we also inject the attribute 'id="clean"' and
a script call 'f(clean)'.  As the output is read by the
browser, it executes the function immediately.  The function
checks to see if the comment or cdata has multi-line data,
in which case it changes the style to a expandable,
multi-line display.  Performing this switch in the DHTML
instead of from script in the XSL increases the performance
of the style sheet, especially in the browser's asynchronous
case -->

<!-- Note the following templates for elements may
examine children.  This harms to some extent the ability to
process a document asynchronously - we can't process an
element until we have read and examined at least some of its
children.  Specifically, the first element child must be
read before any template can be chosen.  And any element
that does not have element children must be read completely
before the correct template can be chosen. This seems an
acceptable performance loss in the light of the formatting
possibilities available when examining children. -->

if you have something to work with windows PE files, for example pe
explorer or reshack.exe (which is free) you can go to
c:\{%windir}\{system folder} and get your msxml.dll, you can put the
newer version of the xslt in there. 
It's saved in the dll as a resource. Otherwise you can just go ahead and
use the xslt in the normal way. I can't remember about the xslt above
but I think I have it set to load xml documents unexpanded.
