These sorts of general XSLT questions are better posted on the Mulbery XSL list, not the Xalan-specific developer list. Please subscribe and post such questions there:
http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/ You are trying to use an XSLT processor with a stylesheet written in the old working draft language. This obsolete language is supported only by older versions of the Microsoft processor. It is _not_ supported by Xalan. And this doesn't even look like a Xalan error message. Are you really using the Xalan processor? It looks as though you're using the old Microsoft processor, which makes this question even more inappropriate for the Xalan list. If you're really using Xalan, then do the following: Change: <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl";> to: <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";> You should get a good book on XSLT and learn the real XSLT, not this obsolete dialect. And upgrade your version of MSXML to the version that supports XSLT.
