Hmm, it appears that my problem is related to the JDK version rather than
to the stylesheets or the XSLT processor. I was using 1.4.1_01, but if I
use 1.3.1_06 instead, I get no errors (with the 1.58.1 stylesheets and
Xalan-J 2.4.1).
To answer your question, I did not see the aforementioned error with the
1.57.0 stylesheets. It's easier for me to change my $JAVA_HOME
environment variable than it is to change XSLT processors, so I think
I'll go with JDK 1.3.1.
