Quite possibly. Of course, I would say that.

The problem for me is not just browser lock-in, but OS lock-in - I'm not
ready to let go of my sexy turquoise SGI box just yet. You might be
able to persuade people to upgrade or even change their browser, but
changing hardware is a little tricker.

I, for one, will wait for a Netscape/Mozilla that provides a stable
XML/XSL client implentation and is available on all 15-odd platforms
before I even consider moving XML off the server.
