was receiving:

XSL Error: pattern = '{$item}'
Extra illegal tokens: '$', 'item}', style tree node:
org.apache.xalan.xslt.ElemSort@1af6f6
XSL Error: Could not parse f:/server/apache/htdocs/schedule/Schedule.xsl
document!, Location
file:/f:/server/apache/htdocs/schedule/PadScheduleMain.xsl, line 224, offset
