No. XML is text. I'm 99.9% sure that all browsers support text.

Yes. IE5 has a default style for XML documents. But, this is just how IE5
presents XML documents and doesn't have anything to do with support for the
documents themselves.

This is true. But, it's true becuase there is a lack of browser support.
Like I said, only IE5 and NN6 support XSLT (though I don't know about the
level of support).
