I don't think this is true any more. The only current browser I know of 
that doesn't support XSLT is lynx. Perhaps an important one, so two 
questions:

1. Besides lynx, which other browsers do not support XSLT?
2. Is lynx stopping you from sending XML+XSLT to browsers?

If the answer to 1 is "none" and the answer to 2 is "Yes", then what's 
really needed is an effort to add XSLT to lynx. Shouldn't actually be 
that hard. We just need to transform the document and then pass it into 
lynx's regular HTML renderer.
