You may take a look at the XSL stylesheets developed in the MALVINE
project. We have made a converter translating from various native
cataloguing formats into EAD (the converter is online at
http://helmer.hit.uib.no/malvine/EADconverter.html), and we are using XSL
stylesheets to present data as HTML via IE5. There are 4 different XSL
stylesheets available from the page
http://helmer.hit.uib.no/malvine/EADpage.html, and you may choose for
instance to get an EAD catalogue displayed as a USMARC catalogue.

Best regards,
