XSLT SECURITY ISSUE

I came across an issue today where (for adding external files to style sheet) works in ie8 - but completely breaks in ie9. After a day of not wanting to get bothered by the issue i decided to get down to it.
After long minutes of research, I found out that ie9 uses MSXML6 while ie8 uses MSXML 3 and one of the great new features added is the security, details can be found here.
all I need to do in javascript was to set the resolveExternals to true on my xslt object.
