Sometime after version 1.41 of the stylesheets
Norm added the text templates that implement localizations
for generated text.  They use the localization files
located in the 'common' directory in the XSL distribution.
They use a l: namespace to keep those elements separate
from other DocBook elements.  It looks like Xalan 1.2.2
either doesn't handle that namespace, or it thinks it needs a
DTD to process the localization elements.

I see that xml.apache.org no longer supports version 1.*
of Xalan-J.  You might want to upgrade to the newest
version, which is 2.2.D14.  That version worked for
me with the 1.48 stylesheets.
