Due to the nature of the problem you are experiencing I have to imagine one of 
two things:

Either your generated output has no <html></html> tag in it
note:(not that it has to)
and/or
you have no <xsl:output/> element within the xsl stylesheet you are using.

By default - Netscape is seeing the generated output as an XML document and 
thus only sees the style attribute as just an attribute
it does not see it as anything special and thus does not handle it as you may 
be expecting.

If in the stylesheet you include a beginning and ending <html> element - 
Netscape will render it as you are expecting
Though this may not be what you desire

The other option - without introducing the <html> element is to include as a 
top level element within your stylesheet
the following element:

<xsl:output method="html" />

The generated output that is sent to the browser as the result of the 
transformation is then interpreted as a HTML document
and not an XML document - and Netscape then "sees" the style attribute and its 
associated CSS styling and applys it properly
in the displayed output

Hope this helps

Hm. Sounds like a Netscape bug, to be blunt about it... either in their 
stylesheet processor or in their handling of the generated document. 

Since you say the Xalan processor isn't involved, there isn't a lot we can do 
about that. You've already said that Xalan _does_ generate the results you 
expect. That could, of course, be a bug in Xalan causing us to do something 
wrong that happens to match your expectations better than the correct result, 
but...

At this point I'd suggest reporting the problem to Netscape or Transformiix, 
and seeing what they have to say for themselves
