There is nothing in the EAD Cookbook stylesheets that is not supported by
XT, if that's any comfort.

Installing the latest MSXML DLL (version 4,
[http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnmsxml/ht
ml/newinaprilre.asp]) will not necessarily solve the problem, owing simply
to the fact that XT itself does not fully conform to the XSLT 1.0
[http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-xslt-19991116
]. xsl:key, for example, is not supported. Equally in moving from XT to
MSXML you may have problems if you made use of any of the extensions to
XSLT declared in the XT namespace.
I do not know the structure of the cookbook stylesheets, and I suspect that
they are fairly generic and work with most XSLT processors, but I thought
that the list might want to be aware of these issues.
