Last weekend, I found that the source of my problem was purely IE5 and XML.
I cobbled a way to test this with Netscape and this problem does not happen
at all.
I'm basically using JSPs to generate pure XML pages with references to XSL

doing the contentType as shown below:

emit a page with a reference to a compiled
transformation (produced by Sun's XSLT compiler).
If the browser has no XML nor JRE support,
then the Server will perform the transformation

the utilization of the browser's capabilities.
Anyone had any luck getting IEv5 to participate
in this tactic from a JSP page? Any suggestions
would be appreciated.
