I have been doing quite a lot of work in this area:  the simple answer
is: no.Few, if any mobile devices have support in the browser.

Most modern desktop browsers support it well:  IE (since 5.5 at least)
FireFox since 2.0, Chrome.  I had some trouble with Safari and am
doing server-side rendering for those devices..  that was awhile ago
and I can't remember what the issue was.

I use generated XSL 1.0 which is limited to a pretty tight core
vocabulary, all of which seems to be working perfectly in the wild but
my production code should not be considered full-blown XSL 1.0
coverage tests, so there may still be plenty of issues I haven't
observed.
