RE: [xsl] Re: "Non-whitespace text is not allowed in this position in the stylesheet!" error

["Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Examples of places where non-whitespace text is not allowed include:

* as a child of xsl:stylesheet (between two top-level elements)

* as a child of xsl:choose

* as a child of xsl:apply-templates

* before the first xsl:sort within an xsl:for-each
