There's is no "default" namespace URI for IE. IE will use MSXML, and
depending on the version of MSXML being installed, it will support either
"WD-XSL" or "WD-XSL" and "XSLT". Which one is used depends on the namespace
URI, not a default.

Actually, it's not. Last time I checked, the "WD-XSL" implementation in
MSXML did not implement any of the historic drafts correctly.

Right. The XSLT instrctions will be ignored (treated as literal result
elements).
