RE: [xsl] SAXON Fatal Error UTF-8 sequence (character code: 0x63)

["Julian Reschke" <julian.reschke@xxxxxx>]

check whether your file starts with a UTF8 Byte Order Mark. Old versions of
(the XML parser in) Saxon didn't expect this, and I think the error would
used to look similar (Saxon 6.5 seems to work right).
