namespace in stylesheet causes TransformerConfigurationException

           Summary: namespace in stylesheet causes
                    TransformerConfigurationException
           Product: XalanJ2
           Version: 2.2.x
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Xalan
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


The following happens only with Xalan and not with Saxon or jd.xslt:

For transformations from xmi documents I need the 
xmlns:UML="//org.omg/UML/1.3". At the use of the Namespace Xalan throws an 
javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException. The reason I found out 
is the beginning with doubleslash.

The used stylesheet (only the beginning):

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; 
xmlns:UML="//org.omg/UML/1.3" version="1.0">

<xsl:key name="classifierRef" 
match="UML:Association/UML:Association.connection/UML:AssociationEnd" 
use="@type"/>
