Yea, verily, Nikita speaks the  truth.  There is no point in doing
***anything*** xml-ish with Internet Explorer unless you have installed
msxml3.dll in "replace" mode.  And for anyone thinking about trying out
msxml4, remember that you ***cannot** use it in "replace" mode (well,
someone figured out how but it's pretty tricky and involves serious hacking
in the registry), so you could write code against it but IE won't use it by
default.
