Hi,

regarding this very simple XML page:
http://www.selfxml.de/buch.xml

The content is rendered as a table only when I allow selfxml.de in Noscript. Is this intentional? Why?

Thanks
Redoute

Now I found the relevant option. And that searching for "XSLT" returns various topics in this forum ...

Sorry for making noise.

When you click on a link like you provided with the site untrusted and setting NoScript Options|Advanced|Untrusted|Forbid XSLT will give you the linear bunched response while allowing the site or unchecking forbid XSLT will return the table you are looking for. Its by design and due to protection from some attack vectors that were discovered.

It as considered as active style sheet content and began blocking it as of the following changelog excerpt:
v 1.9.1.5
==========================================================================
+ XSLT stylesheets are regarded as active content and blocked by
default on untrusted documents and/or from untrusted origins
emphasis was added by me, Hope that helps.
