In the case of the Java version of Saxon the XSLT processor just reports
the error message the used XML parser of the underlying Java platform
gives so perhaps write a Java program using a JAXP SAXParser or a SAX
XmlReader if those error messages are better than the one of the Expat
based xmlwf tool.
