Yes. I apologize unreservedly. When I wrote my mail, I had it in my
head that I had made Oracle crash because of a feature missing, but I
was not remembering aright. I agree, Oracle implements the spec, to
the best of my knowledge. I personally am not using oraxsl because

 - it does not (yet, publicly) implement an extension for multiple
    output files
 - it currently wants more memory than I have

thats great.

I much appreciate the trouble you have taken to look at my perhaps
unreasonable test cases, and again, apologies for maligning the software!

PS but I dont think we can let Xalan off the conformance hook. Though I
confess that I seldom try it, because xerces tells me the TEI Lite DTD 
is invalid.
