Not at all. IE6 is an HTML rendering engine, so the way to get XML
rendered is to transform it to html.

So the fact that your stylesheet generates html is crucial.
(It is possible to send xhtml to IE by forcing the xml output method but IE
will parse it as html and so does the wrong thing as often as not.)

The fact that IE doesn't give a default method of saving the transformed
doc is a separate issue.
