Looking at the code the error below should only happen if you have two 'elements' at the top level of the source document. Alternatively if the Xerces document doesn't return the true root of the document from getDocumentElement().
So my guess is that the Xerces DOM is returning 'null' from getDocumentElement(), or your XSL transform is generating multiple 'top level' elements (which isn't allowed) I don't know if XSLT checks for this sort of error.
Can you confirm that Batik should be able to take a Xerces DOM document and that creating a SVGDOMDocument is unnecessary? The document is valid SVG because if I dump it out as text and pass it to the batik command line tool it gets converted to PNG just fine. Whether I pass it as an XSL result or allow Xerces to parse it off the disk (in both cases it is a Xerces DOM document) I get the same error in Batik. Here is the whole document:

Thanks for your help Dwayne
