Thanks to Hugh, Mike and Wayne.  I think the answer to my dilema is in that
faq.  I hoped that I would not have to make changes to other PC's configs to
view my data but that appears to be the cold hard truth since we're:
1) looking through IE and 
2) wanting to use the functions in latest namespace

Microsoft has performed some fairly complex voodoo to work within the
various constraints that they find themselves with XSLT (having embraced and
extended an early version that turned out to be incompatible with the final
Recommendation). Also, as we saw in a recent thread, IE5 and IE 6 *use* an
XML processor, but the processor itself is not *part* of IE, offering
additional sources of complexity.  Plus, there are different ways of
installing the various updates to the XML processor that affect IE's
behavior. 

I'd suggest the unofficial FAQ at
http://www.netcrucible.com/xslt/msxml-faq.htm, which I have found invaluable
in sorting this all out.
