For the OP: 'xml' as the output when controlling XSLT from script makes
further DOM processing a loooot easier. When using PIs, just use the
output that matches your intentions.
Regarding PIs: i hate to say it, but it is a cleaner, easier to work
with, more robust and widely supported solution. Probably because its
simply architecturally sound, especially when compared to script.
However some applications simply need more fine grained control (e.g.
the ajax freaks :-).
Regarding activeX: it sucks as the rest of IE. BTW, looks like that new
shiny XMLHttpRequest constructor in IE 7 always returns an activeX
object from MSXML3, that conflicts with everything else if you have
MSXML6 installed. Nice.
IE and the MS people are the most difficult to work with (irrelevant but
cant help it, sorry). I'm sure there are exceptions in both browser
features and people, but it's all lost in the big picture.
