I tested your files with Xalan 2.5.1 and the transformation works fine. I
think that, as Jeni suggested, you are using an older version, see [1] for
determining what version of Xalan you are using. Also see [2] for details
about how to override the Xalan packaged with the JDK 1.4.

Hope that helps,
