The dynamic sorting relies on scripts that modify the stylesheet before
execution (with the problems discussed in my response to Dimitre on another
thread). This technique doesn't intrinsically require any non-standard XSLT
code, but if you want to run it in the browser (which is what I was
assuming, though you didn't say so), then you are automatically dependent on
the API that drives the XSLT processing. If you wanted to do it in a Java
applet or application, you could make your code work with any JAXP-compliant
processor.

MSXML scripting code almost inevitably constrains you to Internet Explorer.
(I've no idea how similar or different the Netscape/Mozilla API is).
