Well actually the pleasant truth is that the technology behind Netscape,
called Mozilla (http://mozilla.org/) is open source, and they are just
plugging in XSLT support via the Transformix engine right now. So expect
XSLT support either in Netscape 6 or in a point release. Or get mozilla if
you're impatient.

I'm confused that you found no information regarding this however, since
the mozilla project is extremely open. And here I found an awful lot of
hits: http://www.google.com/search?q=mozilla+xsl&meta=lr%3D%26hl%3Den with
a very simple search.
