I think I found the problem. It seems that its coming from a UTF8 BOM (Byte Order Mark). After MS XSLTransform object does its thing, I convert the output stream into a string which is passed as a parameter to a javascript function in my SVG template graphic in the browser. When converting from a stream to a string the resulting string starts with "0xEF 0xBB 0xBF" characters before the first node. The replaceChild method in the svg dom does not like those characters and bombs. I "fixed" it by truncating the first three characters and everything works fine. I know this is not a pretty solution so I'm open to suggestions anyone might have.
