In my XSL file I am using Xpath which is compatible with MSXML 3.0, I 
think you can install XML 3.0 with IE5.5
Come to think of it Office 2003 installs XML 5.0
Prior to release of  XML 3.0 parser , Microsoft was using an older 
version of XSL spec that didn't include XSLT
To see, what version of MSXML is on your system, try this XML sniffer
http://www.topxml.com/parsers/sniffer/default.asp

Opera7 doesn't seem to use XSL, I haven't installed. It doesn't like 
client side operations
Seems to consider xsl/xslt a bad thing at least from their docs.
http://www.opera.com/docs/specs/#xml
 you can do XML & XSLT viewable in Opera .  do it by creating a 
javascript DOM and XSL TransformNode facility .
 For more insight on yet another techno war

They are right about one thing, XSLT could prove to be  a problem to Web 
Archivists and records managers.
