Your XSLT stylesheet is fine, so I suspect that there's a problem with
the code you're using to invoke the transformation. You'd be better
off asking on xalan-j-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx probably.

The 'omit-xml-declaration' attribute is only relevant when you're
generating XML, so I wouldn't expect it to have any effect with your
text-generating stylesheet.

Cheers,
