I have made the factory namespace-aware, but the problem persists, as much as i hate to say that. I have a better demonstration program now, which has less dross, and cuts straighter to the poit. If you are interested i can attach it to another mail. Other then the namespace-awareness, is there any other possible cause? If i dump both documents into a file using a StreamResult, the files are identical.
