Well I have great news to begin with, IT WORKS! On your advice, I went back to
xml.apache.org and downloaded the xalan-j2_2_D6. I downloaded 1.2.2 because I thought
it was the latest release version, but if the development version works for what I
need, I'll go with it.
Unfortunately, I am not able to use the ApplyXPath sample with the id() XPath
function. When I tried this, I got an exception. It did work for normal XPath
statements though. If you would like to investigate further, here is a text file with
the exception listed.
