The <?xml-stylesheet?> processing instruction must occur before the root element of the document, and must have a href attribute:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="style.css"?>

XML is case-sensitive, so <body>, <Body> and <BODY> will be treated as entirely distinct tags. For this reason, the selectors in CSS style sheets applied to XML are also case sensitive, and must match the case of the XML elements:

body  { color: Purple; }
