But the transmitted name of the "user agent" can _not_ be
trusted.  My browsers are for example all configured to
return "Any Browser" as the user agent.  And I am almost
certain that MSIE by default claims that it is a Mozilla
clone while Opera by default claims that it is a MSIE clone.

If you want to know if the clients know XSL, you should
check the "accept content" header for that information.
