Re: [docbook-apps] Ant XSLT task error

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

The DocBook XSL stylesheets are not written using XSLT 2.0.  Since Saxon 
9.0 is an implementation of XSLT 2.0, it is possible that there are some 
compatibility problems with the DocBook XSLT 1.0 templates.  Can you use 
Saxon 6.5.5 instead?  That's known to work.
