Sorry if slightly off-topic, but I have asked / researched many other
places already, maybe someone here can help?

MSIE has a useful (for users applications) feature of performing XSLT
transformations if a stylesheet is specified in the XML file, e.g., within
the data file:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type='text/xsl' href='test.xsl'?>
....

However, for testing the raw *data*, it would be very useful to disable
this (with a keystroke / mouse-click or two), and just have the default
MSIE display of the XML tree. Does anyone know how to do this?

The funny thing is that what you called "default MSIE display" is also
result of XSLT processing. Actiually default stylesheet
(res://msxml.dll/defaultss.xsl) is not XSLT. but WD-XSLt stylesheet, but
anyway probably that's the reason XSLT cannot be disabled.
You can see raw data in View/Source too.
