stylesheet requires attribute: version

[Etienne Deleflie]

Hello,

I am writing an XSL stylesheet on the fly, as a DOM document.

Printed out, it looks like this ...........

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
     <xsl:template match="/">
          <xsl:call-template name="bob" />
     </xsl:template>
     <xsl:include href="gaga-html.xsl" />
</xsl:stylesheet>

Strange thing is, when I use Xalan thus .....

transformer = factory.newTransformer( new DOMSource(   myDomDocument )
);

I get a Transform error: "stylesheet requires attribute: version" and
stdout tells me
file:////opt/Centauri/bin/javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource; Line 0;
Column 0;

So I have tried writing that stylesheet to disk and then passing it as a
StreamSource instead ...

transformer = factory.newTransformer( new
StreamSource(myXslFileURLtoString()) );

and this works!!! so my document seems to be correct.
smells like a bug.

am I missing something? does any one know either a workaround, or have a
suggestion or ....
