Probably get a blank page at best. Data islands are a very cool technique,
but are absolutely, positively, only supported by MSIE 5 and up. There's
a way that you can simulate the effect with Javascript, but the code you
need to do that is huge and slow, and probably doesn't allow for dynamic-
ally modifying the XML. Not to mention that it entails the same old routine
of coding one page for Netscape and another for IE.
