Regarding XSLT, yes, which is why I'm switching processors to get key() ...
I am unaware of any faults regarding XML processing in XT.

I respectfully disagree.
You don't mention which XML processor you are using, but the error message
refers to a "marked section in the internal DTD subset" when, in fact, I
have the marked section in an external DTD subset. The processor is either
giving bogus error messages, or whoever implemented it doesn't know the
terminology.
>This has nothing to do with the XSLT processor
Every XSLT processor has an embedded XML processor and the result in this
case is the well-formed stylesheet is being rejected.

I disagree ... whichever processor you are using is giving you a false
sense of security ... it doesn't work.

Can you quote chapter and verse from the XML Recommendation to back up your
argument rather than relying on faulty software? I will gladly respect a
corrected interpretation of the XML Recommendation if you can prove I am wrong.
I hope you find this helpful.
