Addtional info about this bug:

I get this error:

XML Parsing Error: 
Location: file:///D:/docs/my/stuff/site/mySite/contents/more/content/more/xml/file.xml
Line Number 2, Column 1:<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="../../../../styles/style.xsl"?>
^

The browser cannot find/parse the stile sheet, when it is located in another subfolder of the root folder or in any other case when the XSLT file is not located in the same folder as the XML file.
This bug occurs when the files are stored locally.

This workes in IE and Firefox 2

I set the pref to false and it now works. But how should I make my offline xml
only site if other less knowledgeable people should view it, so not such changes to the config. are needed?

At least why doesn't Firefox show an advice what the problem might be? It looks
as if there is a browser or xslt bug!

After all if we have multiple subdirectories we want to have just one style sheet for all files.
