Okay, so what if you try this:

Download Xalan 2.6.0 and place the following JAR files in
$CATALINA_HOME/common/endorsed:

xalan.jar
xercesImpl.jar
xml-apis.jar

Set the JAVA_OPTS env var in the shell where you start TC:

-Djavax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory=org.apache.xerces.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl
-Djavax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory=org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl
-Djavax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory=org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl

Place *only* the following JAR files from Standard 1.0.x in WEB-INF/lib:

jaxen-full.jar
jstl.jar
saxpath.jar
standard.jar

Do *not* place the JAR files from jakarta-taglibs-standard-1.0.x/lib on the
classpath.
