Wellknown facts about browser support of XSLT (Was: Re

Maybe to avoid such long threads in the future and ultimately save
time for everybody, the FAQ for the xsl-list should include the fact
that at present IE 6 uses MSXML 3, Firefox/Netscape uses TransforMiiX,
which even does not have support for the xxx:node-set() extension
function. Safari supports XSLT 1.0 via libxslt.

All this is XSLT 1.0.

So, in short, no known browser today has support for XSLT 2.0 (and
this is logically due to the fact that there isn't any XSLT 2.0 W3
recommendation yet).

and also include this link:

   http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_browsers.asp

which hopefully will be kept up-to-date in the future.

Probably, it would be a good idea to specify the varying degree to
which each of these platforms has some support for EXSLT.
