If you know how to use XMLHttpRequest respectively Microsoft.XMLHTTP to 
load XML then you know how to load your XSL as XSL is XML. So all you 
need to do is use XMLHttpRequest to load your XSL from a URL, then you 
have responseXML and that way an XML DOM object for your XSL stylesheet 
and then you can script an XSL transformation.

If you really want to use XML islands (these are IE/Win only) then I 
don't understand the problem either as XSL is XML so you simply need to 
put your XSL into an XML island as you seem to do with your XML data 
e.g. inside the HTML document:

<xml id="stylesheet1">
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
       version="1.0">
<!-- XSL instructions go here -->
</xsl:stylesheet>
</xml>

then in IE 6 you can access
   document.getElementById('stylesheet1').XMLDocument
and have an XML DOM document with your stylesheet which you can feed to 
the transformNode method for instance.
