xsl to html
I don't know whether this answers your question or not, but this might be
helpful.
In case you want an HTML output through XSL, irrespective of the platform,
HTML written should have to be XHTML compliant, otherwise your XSL breaks
the wellformedness rule of XML. On Macintosh, some of the browsers like (IE
5.2, Safari, Netscape) are not that much powerful to display directly your
XML file that includes your XSL. IE5.2 just crashes, Safari gives  by chance
expected result some times. Out of these Netscape tries to process XSL
templates in better way, but that too is far away from what IE 6.0 gives on
windows using MSXML.
So you would probably need an external XSLT processor to create HTML files
at least for MAC.

Wish browsers on MAC could be that powerful.

Thnx

It's not a question of hardware, it's a question of software.
The Macintosh doesn't display XML (or XHTML, or HTML). An application
running on the Macintosh may be able to display any or all of these
file types.

So, what software is your Macintosh user using to look at your
webpage? It's no different from PC users - if they are using
3 year old browsers they won't be able to make sense of XML
on the web. If they are using newer software they might be able
to view what you have now.
