There is NO XML support in Netscape 4.x.

I#m sorry to say this, but for now you have to use another XML/XSL parser
than Netscape. Even the brand new Netscape 6 preview (yes, it's 6, they
skipped the 5) does not support XSL, and I found no information about when
Netscape eventually will support XML/XSL. Sorry, but this is the unpleasant
truth. If you don't want to rely on Microsoft's browser you can try using
xt or saxon with an XSL-T stylesheet to generate HTML which will be
displayed by Netscape. But be careful: XSL as used by Microsoft is not
compatible with the "real" XSL as standardized by the WWW Consortium
(however, if you install the latest update/Preview of MSXSL you get an
Internet Explorer which is about 90% compatible (maybe more, I didn't
completely test it since it doesn't run on my linux box. Could you please
help out here, Jonathan Marsh? I would really appreciate something like a
list of which parts of the specification are still missing in MSXSL and the
features of MSXSL exceeding the specification!).
