but what do you mean by this? Do you mean, as Piet suggested, xml styled 
by an external css?, or do uou mean just serving a plain xml file (when 
IE and FF apply a default xsl stylesheet to convert it to html).

even FF and IE do not apply that default XSLT to the result of an xslt 
transfomation, which is what you seem to imply should happen If you use 
xml-stylesheet to generate xml rather than html, and don't use 
xsl:processing-instruction to insert another xml-stylesheet into the 
result, it seems FF/IE/Opera/Chrome all do the same thing and generate 
the elements but apply no particular rendering (so effectively you just 
see the text) This seems to be the behaviour I would expect from the 
relevant standards.
