The xmlspec.xsl stylesheet contains two <xsl:strip-space> declarations specifying the "author" element. This is a (recoverable) error according to XSLT 1.0. [See section 3.4 as modified by erratum E30] Sadly, the just-released Saxon 7.3 doesn't recover from it. In fact, it triggers a sorry chain of events including a NullPointerException that gets masked if you are using the Crimson parser, and the bottom line is that you get no output, other than a message saying "Run-time errors were reported" (though they weren't). I'll fix the Saxon problems, but the original error in the stylesheet should also be fixed. Meanwhile, thanks for supplying an interesting test case... Michael Kay
