RE: [xml-dev] XML support in browsers?

["Michael Kay" <mike@saxonica.com>]

I should imagine the vast majority of people with a computer that has been
purchased or updated in the last five years will have no difficulty
displaying web pages that rely on client-side XSLT 1.0 support in the
browser.

If your target audience includes mobile devices, or people with ancient
computers (e.g. the elderly at home, third-world countries, or underfunded
schools or charities) then you might still have a few problems.
