You use the wrong mimetype for the stylesheet. Make sure that the server is 
configured to use "text/xml" or "application/xml" for .xsl files. Plase read 
our FAQ for details:

Yup. text/plain it is.

Comment 3

[Joel Parker]

The mime type has been changed, now it sends the file as text/xml. The problem,
however, has not been fixed.

Comment 4

[Peter Van der Beken [:peterv]]

The mimetype that the server sends for the XSLT stylesheet is still text/plain.
Please really verify that it is text/xml and the transformation doesn't happen
before reopening.

peterv: i'm sorry to say, but it does in fact send the right mimetype. I had to 
shift-reload to get the old one out of cache though.

Comment 6

[Peter Van der Beken [:peterv]]

Hmmm, right. So I suspect that maybe <xsl:output method =" xml"...> causes us to
fail because of the extra space before in the method attribute's value.
