Handling XML parse errors when using identity transform.

[Finn Bock]

Hi Team,
I'm no expert on java's xml & transformer APIs so I need a little help. 
It appears to me that when using the identity Transformer from xalan we 
no longer get notifications of XML parse errors.

Using an obviously corrupt input fo:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xfo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";>
</xfo:root>
we get the a message on stderr from xerces DefaultErrorHandler:
[Fatal Error] t.fo:2:56: The prefix "xfo" for element "xfo:root" is not 
bound.

and there is no way AFAICT to set a different error handler on the 
XMLReader that the xalans transformer creates and uses to parse the 
input file.

Am I missing something?
regards,
finn
