After parsing an XSL file into a DOM with Xerces(1.4), Xalan-J (2.1.1)
errors out with: javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: stylesheet
requires attribute: version.

At first, this appears to be the simple ommission of the version attribute
in the xsl:stylesheet, but I can guarantee that this element IS in fact in
the XSL.

When I simply read in the xsl from a file, Xalan works like a charm. It
appears that by first parsing the xsl into a DOM with Xerces, the parse does
something funny with it. I am completely stumped...I cannot avoid parsing
the xsl into a DOM, as I need to do some operations on it prior to the
tranformation. 

Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated....someone must have tried
this before.

xsl
===
<?xml version="1.0"?> 
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="html"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
 ...
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Thanks,
Bryan.
