Thanks Derek. My girlfriend does XML/XSL stuff for work, but her first try 
worked flawlessly on her IE machine and didn't render the style sheet at all 
in any of my linux browsers. It sounds like if she brushes up on her w3c XSL 
standards then Mozilla (and by extension, Netscape) will be able to deal with 
it? Any idea about Macintosh? We have several users on Mac in the community, 
and I don't see any hits from Opera...

We're discussing using server side processing to render HTML on the fly and 
make it less browser-dependent. Thanks for narrowing down the problem.
