The client I'm working for developed their own flavor of Web Help based on an 
older DocBook XSL version and had a different mechanism for search. Trying to 
bring it up to date would've been nontrivial, so I ported the webhelpindexer 
into their transform environment instead. I'm getting Java exceptions because 
the output isn't fully XHTML compliant. I'm trying to eliminate the Java 
exceptions during indexing by adding the XHTML namespace to the stylesheets and 
generating XHTML compliant content. When I do this to table.xsl, the 
adjustColumnWidth extension function fails and passes through the values rather 
than converting them to percentages.

As it stands, I can leave table.xsl alone and produce plain HTML. Everything 
indexes okay. I just get those ugly Java exceptions. I'd rather have a clean 
transform.
