Re: [xsl] Unable to get Firefox to apply XSL

["Sebastien Lemay slemay@xxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Your idea of packaging the data and transformation with a batch file and
the Saxon library is good.
I have done this before, but from my experience some users did not have a
Java runtime environment installed on their computers so Saxon would not
work.

Another method I have used is to provide a PowerShell script that
encapsulates calls to the XSLT transform methods of the .net environment.
Although this only works with users running Windows and only supports XSLT
1.0. And then you can still run into security issues with PowerShell
execution policies.

So distributing XSLT transforms that users can run locally is really not
simple anymore...
