I think you'll find that IE has the hooks, it just needs someone to hook to them, http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/networking/pluggable/overview/overview.asp ... A pluggable MIME filter is an asynchronous pluggable protocol that receives data through a stream, performs some operation on the data, and returns a data stream. The output data might be in a different format from the original stream. MathPlayer for example intercepts application/xhtml+xml documents that have mathml specified and transforms then to whatever IE needs for display (which incidentally is a way of getting IE to display xhtml) it doesn't use xslt to do the transform, but IE wouldn't mind if it did. So I think (in theory, never having tried) one could write a plugin that intercepted (say) application/xml documents that has an xml-stylesheet PI and did the specified transform using xslt2, returning the result to IE for rendering.
