RE: [xsl] A colon is not allowed in the name

["Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

XSLT will only handle input that is well-formed XML conforming to the
Namespaces recommendation. So if you can't change the input to be
well-formed, then you can't use XSLT.

Of course, you could tackle it by preprocessing in a non-XML technology such
as Perl, and then using XSLT.
