Yes, it does. That was how I determined that just a simple install of MSXML wasn't sufficient because I was still getting the old results ... once I ran the initialization code and reran my tests I realized the new environment was being engaged. In fact, I'm still having sufficient IE5 problems that I'm only using this diagnostic environment to examine what the new DLL provides. This little environment has turned out to be useful for people who are simultaneously generating a static HTML site and a dynamic IE5 site: prior to using this they were using XT for the static pages and IE5 for the dynamic pages and were having to write two totally separate XSLT stylesheets. Now, they only write IE5 stylesheets and use this stand-alone environment to utilize the same stylesheets in producing the static HTML ... now with one set of stylesheets they have equally rendered results for both static and dynamic users. This was a benefit of the environment that was unexpected for me. The only drawback I see is that they stopped using W3C XSLT and focused on IE5 XSLT supporting the archaic constructs and syntax, but the did end up with the consistency they were looking for. ...............
