 Interesting -- although I don't think this is my problem (which
 I am still trying to solve). Neither the document nor the stylesheet
 are using namespaces.
 
 I think that the problem is that MSXML is being invoked from 
 a script (JScript I believe) from inside XMetal. It loads my 
 XML document and XSL sheet and uses transformNode. 
 
 I believe the error is caused by a well known problem, that 
 the Base URI
 is 'undefined' because all of this is happening in memory and
 so MSXML doesn't know where to find the file with a relative path --
 it's relative to nothing. 
 
 I've since been trying to find out how to pass a parameter to the 
 stylesheet (i.e., <xsl:param> at a global level), but can't 
 seem to find
 the documentation on how to do this. (I've tried the MS SDK 
 documentation
 and Mike Kay's book, but no luck.) I suppose I could literally
 change the stylesheet in memory using Mike Kay's example, but would 
 prefer to do this with a method that will work in other XSLT 
 processors also as we have another downstream process that is going 
 to use XT. 
 
 Thanks for looking :-),
