*** Careful ***
Currently with IE 6, Mozilla 1, and Netscape 7pr1, if I want to use
XSLT, then my content must begin with something like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="us-ascii"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="pmathml.xsl"?>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
...
</html>
BUT while the value of the 'type' attribute should be "text/xsl",
the HTTP content type for the value of the 'href' attribute must be
"text/xml".
I'm not commenting on whether it should or should not be this way, but
this does seem to be the way it is for now.
AFAIK "text/xsl" is not a registered content-type. The use of text/xml
for XSLT has a certain level of justification under RFC 3023.
