The correct type is application/xslt+xml, per RFC 3023. It should be used everywhere. The only type you can effectively use in an xml-stylesheet processing instruction at this time, however, is text/xsl, because that's all that the browsers will recognize, AFAIK. We will never be rid of text/xsl, unfortunately. If IE started supporting the correct type in their next release, we might finally start to see text/xsl fade in about 3 years, when people stop worrying about keeping their stuff working in the older browsers. Of course, the whole notion of hard-coding a stylesheet reference in an XML document is a source of controversy. It is almost exclusively used to let a browser load a data source directly through a standard HTTP GET and to force a particular rendering of that data. This is a problem that could have been, and has been, solved in other, arguably more intelligent ways. - Mike ____________________________________________________________________________ mike j. brown | xml/xslt: http://skew.org/xml/ denver/boulder, colorado, usa | resume: http://skew.org/~mike/resume/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
