User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1

I'm developing an ASP file wich prints XSLT data to the browser. The included
file in the XML file has the extention ASP.

The error 'Error loading stylesheet: An XSLT stylesheet does not have an XML
mimetype' is raised by the interpretor of FireFox. In IE it's possible to use
different extentions.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a generated XSLT stylsheet and use the ASP file extention
2. Include/link it in the XML file
3. Open the URL to the xml file

Actual Results:  
The next error apears: Error loading stylesheet: An XSLT stylesheet does not
have an XML mimetype

Expected Results:  
Show the HTML output.

reporter: you didn't include a url, and this bug isn't valid without one. the
bug is a bug in whichever site it was, had you provided a url we could reassign
this bug to evangelism. we're required by spec to honor the mime type, and we do.

OK. I understand that the mimetype should be honored. Only XML pages with other
types then XSLT or XSL can be viewed with IE only. That's a disadvantage in my
opinion for Mozilla Firefox.

I can't provide a URL because the pages are in development now.
