Yes, and even then you're likely to have to generate different 
HTML for different browsers to make it look right! Thankfully,
XSLT makes that fairly easy. 

Back to MSXML vs. System.xml, I think it'll just delay widespread
XSLT 2.0 somewhat, not kill anything. Remember that the CLR
is linkable with native apps, so I doubt you'll have to wait
for all of IE to be reimplemented in C#. 

Now the intriguing question is, will you get X# in your 
browser, along with XQuery/XSLT/XPath 2.0, too? ;-) And when 
you do, how will it compare with 2.0...
