RE: IE5.0 and XSL

See http://www.microsoft.com/xml/xsl/tutorials/conformance.asp for a list of
unimplemented features and workarounds.  The IE5 implementation does not
support the complete feature set of XSL.  Since XSL is a work in progress,
we tried to concentrate on the a small subset that we felt was fairly stable
in the Working Draft and represented the core functionality of XSL.  For the
first release, the focus on robustness and performance instead of the
chasing changeable features.

Your particular problem appears to be caused by the lack of support for the
"built-in templates".  These templates are easily added to your stylesheet
so it will work in both LotusXSL and IE5.
