No doubt the combination of Oracle-specific 
additional pseudo-attribute on the PI in  <?xsl-stylesheet
on server side and MS-specific clone of XSLT 
on client side will be interesting. I just thought 
the original topic was "it is very important for XSLT servlets.
to implement standard <?xml-stylelesheet binging".

I still think it is not important at all, and it looks that it is 
also forcing relatively non-scalable design ( like your 
additional pseudo-attribute on the PI in  <?xsl-stylesheet is ).
