Sorry, I cant see any explicit XSLT file referenced in the RSS (View Source, in Internet Explorer) and I would have thought that saving the XML file itself and then opening that in IE, then either (if explicitly named) the browser would locate the XSLT, or ( as you suggested) If it's not specified or if the file is missing, IE will just use a default one which is the XML view you saw. but not true.
So, Im still in ignorance.

Just look at the source, you'll see it at the top of the file. If it's not specified or if the file is missing, IE will just use a default one which is the XML view you saw.

Is it always, or is there a default name for the transformation file?

If I browse to an RSS feed (eg, Microsoft at Work <http://www.microsoft.com/atwork/community/rss.xml> ) the browser formats it consistently. Yet, saving the XML file itself and then later opening the saved-to-disk file in the same browser (eg, IE10) the display is the standard XML syntax-highlighted view for any XML file. What is happening? Ian Thomas Victoria Park, Western Australia
