Virtually all my xslt projects are cross-browser.  The only exception I
remember is one where I had to split the output into multiple files,
which I did with a Saxon instruction.

I frequently write cross-browser javascript code from an xslt
stylesheet.  Of course, writing such javascript has nothing to do with
xslt per se, but it is very feasible.

OTOH, just because a stylesheet is cross-platform does not mean it will
perform equally well with any xslt processor.  I have had some cases
where Saxon was much faster than either msxml or Xalan.  Of course, it
all depends on the details of the exact case.
