Hi Thomas,

It is not a problem of your document; if I remember right, this happens
because of conflicting classes feeling responsible to do the parsing.
(I think from xalan or saxon).
Xerces worked for me again after I had installed the newest java by sun
and by removing any unneccessary classes from CLASSPATH. (maybe there are
some old ones in jre/lib/ext?

You can also download xsv directly and install locally. It works very
well.

Greetings, Heinrich
