Internet Explorer 5.0's XSLT support is extremely buggy and
non-standard. If you tried an example in Chapter 14 of the XML Bible
and it didn't work in IE5.0, complain to Microsoft, not to me.
Microsoft has posted a beta of the MSXML DLL (Windows only) at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/webtechnology/xml/msxml.asp that
supports more (though still not all) of the XSLT 1.0 recommendation.
However, I recommend that you a third party converter like xt, Xalan,
or Saxon instead.
