The stylesheet is designed to enable mathml rendering on browsers that can render MathML. It is not designed to do anything on browsers that have no mathml support (except for Internet explorer where it attenpts to display mathml just using css and javascript if nothing better can be found). Most browsers that have no MathML support (NS4 for example) would not support XSL either so there is nothing the stylesheet can do in that case. > I think the best thing is to use server side browser detection > and server side stylesheet transformation. This is a reasonabe strategy if presentation is the main criterion and supporting old browsers is important for the application. However serving different things depending on the browser can lead to confusion later on if browsing is not the only use for the data. For example one might want to feed the MathML into a computer algebra system. This will not work too well if you happen to use netscape4 as the http application to do the download and so the server sends you a gif image instead of the MathML because it decides that NS4 can not handle MathML.
