It means there is far too much sugar in your tea. Next time, only add
just enough to balance the bitterness. It should never be truly sweet.

Seriously, what does it sound like? There is an attribute called 'select'
that is required on one of your XSLT instructions, and you've forgotten to
put it in.

xsl:value-of
xsl:for-each
xsl:copy-of

are the instructions that require a select attribute. The value is an
XPath expression, typically one that returns a node-set.

Consider keeping on hand a command-line XSLT processor like Instant Saxon
so you can get error reporting with line numbers.
