Hello, I recently built Xalan from Subversion (revision 659741) with VS2005. It is built against Xerces 2.8. With this combination of builds I can reproduce a debug assertion using the sample 'TransformToXercesDOM'. The sample works fine with the default birds.xml and birds.xsl, however if I modify birds.xsl to have the below contents the debug build faults with an assertion. Below is a listing of birds.xsl, the program output, and the stack as captured by VS2005.

I looked in the debugger and the assertion is failing because the statement "theFormatter->getWriter()" is returning 0. I tried this example (birds.xml & modified birds.xsl) with another XSLT engine and it worked as expected. So I'm curious if this behavior is a bug in Xalan or if perhaps there is alternate explanation.
