At the present state of the XML/XSL/Browser world, it would seem only
appropriate on the client side in situations in which one has control
over the clients (IT says Thou Shalt use IE 5.5 (or 6), and the like in
an in-house situation).

Or, if you really want to deny access to non-XSL browsers or provide
alternative pages for them.
