If you have a parser that isn't a conformant XML parser, throw it out and get a new one, don't try to change the rest of the system to accommodate its weaknesses. I use xalan or saxon. > Is there a way to control the kind of output in XSLT ? No, but at the Java level there are facilities in Saxon to customize the serializer by subclassing the various components; you can register a SerializerFactory that causes your own custom components to be used in place of the standard ones.
