Re: XBL media type?

But that was one of Mark's points, I think...that an XSLT with <xbl>
as the root element could be mistaken for an XBL document.

(And to answer Ian's question as to why you might want to have such an
XSLT file--how about a transform for creating XBL from HTC?)

Which I think is very likely. (To link back to another discussion, I
also think it's likely that you could have more than one language
inside the XBL document itself.)

Mark
