Which XML file are we trying to view ?

XML is used in a variety ways:
1) data interchange: it's viewable as it is
2) Perhaps, usually an XSLT specified to transform the raw XML form  
into another (e.g. HTML)...

If all these have happened, then my Mozilla sucks in supporting it.
I'm unaware of any other things that could view it.  We can put other  
browsers to the cluster.

This is a long shot: export DISPLAY=""; htmlview "filename"

If that doesn't work.. we'll put a better browser there..

Thanks,
