Ibm guessing you really mean noxslt (xsl includes XSL-FO, the
formatting spec).

Is the idea that if XSLT is not supported in the browser, the browser
will do a page reload adding xsl=0 to the URL?

If so, you might conceivably get some traction from browser people, but
the case where server is being maintained and someone can add markup is
much less interesting to me than the case where pages and whole sites
simply stop working.

This particular suggestion has the disadvantages that any browser or
agent that doesn't understand it will see the meta header, and also
that if you put this in the head, the noxsl element ends the HTML head.

Maybe you could use noscript instead, since if you have JavaScript
available you could do a redirect from there by looking for
window.xsltProcessor.
