[xsl] Trying to find a working XSLT processor

Subject: [xsl] Trying to find a working XSLT processor

Can someone help me find an XSLT processor that works with the following XML?

I have been successfully using XT for some time now, but I now would like to use key() and I cannot find an XSLT processor that works with the example below. I have reduced my stylesheets to this simple test that works just fine with XT, but the report below shows Saxon, Oracle, and Xalan all failing on the test. I've also tried some commercial XSLT processors to no avail.

If someone has another command-line processor than the ones listed above, could they please try the test and let me know if there is one that works? One additional requirement is that I need to be able to pass parameters to the XSLT processor on the command line, so I cannot use a DLL-only solution.

Thanks for any help you can be!

p.s. and "no, I cannot change my XML" as I believe this is properly constructed XML and I use dozens of configuration parameters in this fashion in my slide show document model ... it is just that none of the other processors I've tried support it
