Several things may be involved.

the first is a definite problem.  You need to modify the file ead.dtd for
use with XML syntax.  Instructions are found in Section 4.3.2.1 of the EAD
Application Guidelines.

Alternatively, substitute the following file which has alreaddy been so
modified.


 <<ead.dtd>>

Are you sure that the stylesheet is compatible with the version available in
IE 5?  Microsoft's implementation of XSL is way out of date- they promise to
update it to the standard when it is finished.  Which happened today, at
least for XSLT and the XPath portions of the standard which were adopted as
official Recommendations by the W3C.

Is there some specific reason you are invoking a reference to character
sets?  Normally this is not required in XML which is basically Unicode
compliant.   The issue of character sets is actually a bit more complex than
that.

<!--    In October 1993, the University of California, Berkeley -->
<!--    Library began a two-year research and demonstration     -->
<!--    project to investigate the desirability and feasibility -->
<!--    of developing an encoding standard for machine-readable -->
<!--    finding aids.  Daniel V. Pitti, director of the         -->
<!--    Berkeley Finding Aid Project (BFAP), wrote the FindAid  -->
<!--    DTD and oversaw the creation of a prototype database.   -->
<!--    Campbell Crabtree, Tim Hoyer, Gabriela Montoya, Alvin   -->

<!--    DTD and data model developed by the BFAP.  The Bentley  -->
