embedded xslt with xsl:include crashes IE6 browser

embedded xslt
Vendor: Microsoft
Vendor URL: http://www.microsoft.com

I am having a problem trying to embed an xsl:stylesheet in an XML data island and then use transformnode to render the page.

The problem seems to be with the xsl:include statement. If I put the stylesheet into a separate file and use <XML ... src="file.xstl" > instead, it works. If I embed the xsl:stylesheet in the <XML> tag on the html page, the browser (IE6) crashes when I launch the page from the local file system. If I use a relative url for the xsl:include, the browser says "The system cannot locate the object specified". If I use an absolute url (like the example below), the browser crashes when I launch the html file. I've also tried launching the html file from tomcat using both relative and absolute urls for the included xslt file. If I comment out the xsl:include and put the TestFrame template directly into the embedded stylesheet, it works. I really need to use xsl:include because my application is much bigger than this test sample.

I've seen posts that talk about using a fully-qualified URL on the xsl:include. I haven't been able to get it working using file://..., but even if it worked, this seems to defeat the purpose of having reusable, modular xslt files. I could understand that href's inside an html page might need to be fully qualified, but I have several layers of nesting of xsl:imports and I think it?s unreasonable to fully-qualify every href. I hope I?m doing something wrong.

I am attaching the html file that contains the main stylesheet and the included xslt file below.
I appreciate any help.
