RE: [xsl] Top Level Element Error

["Andrew Welch" <ajwelch@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't see how that's a problem - why does that prevent you from
applying the transformation outside of XML Spy?

If your source XML (including the XML referenced using the document()
function) is all well-formed, and all of your stylesheets are
well-formed (including those referenced by xsl:include and xsl:import)
then you really need a more helpful error message pinpointing which of
the files contains the multiple root nodes.  I don't have experience of
the processor bundled with XML Spy, but Saxon certainly does this.
