We already know the default identity transformer missing some features needed to make it fully compatable with the rest of Xalan.... I suspect you've just discovered that the Document Type is another situation it wasn't set up to handle.
To quickly test this, try altering your code to use an actual identity-transformation _stylesheet_ (see below) instead of the default identity transformer. I expect that when you do so the problem will vanish. If so this definitely needs to be entered in Bugzilla, to make sure we don't forget to fix it. <?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";> <xsl:template match="@*|node()"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet>
