Thanks for your input Bill.

In the end, I solved it myself - I was keen to link the stylesheet from the xsl rather than the xml, if possible, since I guess that should save bandwidth for me and the users because it will be called less often (ie in a dedicated newsreader it displays the feed in a different way).

Anyway, as far as I can tell, the problem was to do with case sensitivity differences between xml and css. When I changed my css to make it all lower case, it all worked. I had been using "A:hover" before, which was ok for html but not for this.
