Any reason not to use client-side XSL?? (was: Preferred tool for folding XML into HTML)

It seems clear that XSL is the way to go. I have heard that
Internet Explorer supports client-side style sheets, i.e.,
your webapp returns the XML with reference to stylesheet,
and IE will retreive the style sheet and apply it on the
client side. I haven't read the details of this yet, but it
seems slick, and raises some other questions:
Wouldn't this be simpler than applying the translation on the
server side?
Is this standard? Do/will other browsers support this?
Are there disadvantages to applying the style sheet
client-side?
My thanks to all, for the useful info!
