I strongly suspect you've misdiagnosed the problem, and your glitch is tied
to the use of a DOMResult rather than a DOMSource.
When outputting to a DOM Document, your generated document *must* meet the
DOM's well-formedness requirements -- single root element, no text nodes
outside that root element, etc. If you violate those constraints, the DOM
will throw a HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR.
I haven't analysed your testcase in detail, but if my guess is right your
options are:
1) Fix the stylesheet to produce a well-formed XML document.
2) Output to SAX rather than DOM, since SAX doesn't enforce as many of the
well-formedness constraints.
3) If you really need DOM and really something other than a well-formed
document, you could try wrapping the DOMResult around a DocumentFragment
rather than a Document. That would permit multiple top-level elements and
text at the top level; depending on exactly what the system is complaining
about, that might be enough to get you over the hump.
