Style task does not handle multiple files correctly

           Summary: Style task does not handle multiple files correctly

Hi,

When using the style task as follows to precess multiple docbook
files at once:

    <style  basedir="."
            destdir="."
            includes="**/*.dbx"
            extension=".html"
            style="docbook/stylesheets/html/docbook.xsl"
        />

I get the following exception:
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: Unknown error in XPath

When running the style task multiple times on the individual
files everythings goes correctly.

This is using Xalan-j_2_2_D11.

I had to explicitly add a
    transformer = templates.newTransformer();
just before the line
    transformer.transform(src, res);
in the transform(File infile, File outfile) method of
TraXLiaison to get it working.

It seems that you cannot reuse a Transformer after you
have already called transform() on it.
