Saxon is right (it usually is). You should notify Daniel Veillard of
the bug in xsltproc.

Again, Saxon is right. Here, you want to create a processing
instruction; to do that, you should use the
<xsl:processing-instruction> instruction as follows:

  <xsl:processing-instruction name="import">
    <xsl:text>namespace="mml" implementation="#MathPlayer"</xsl:text>
  </xsl:processing-instruction>

The same goes for creating comments: use the <xsl:comment> instruction
rather than including the comment literally, or wrapped in a CDATA
section, within your styelsheet:

  <xsl:comment>This is a comment</xsl:comment>

Cheers,

Jeni
