Note that IE does not require "text/xsl" to be passed as a mimetype 
during the http transfer. It only requires it inside the 
<?xml-stylesheet?> processing instruction. IE handlels fine "text/xml" 
as mimetype during the actual http transfer.

For this reason mozilla does not treat "text/xsl" as an xml mime type.
