If there's "no source document", then neither Xalan nor Xerces should be trying to dereference namespace URIs in it... And we don't dereference them in the stylesheet, or shouldn't be doing so.
I can't think of anything that would cause this effect. Needs more research. I've sorta got my hands full right at the moment, so if someone else wants to start investigating pls. be my guest -- otherwise I'll try to take a look at it in a week or so. I've forgotten -- John, did you post a testcase into Bugzilla? ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman / IBM Research
