Thanks Paul, it was more or less that, except the stylesheet wasn't built
for any particular version as opposed to being built for a specific but
different to that which I was using. I change my <xls:stylesheet ... > to
this

<xsl:stylesheet
  version="1.0"
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
  xmlns:tld="http://java.sun.com/JSP/TagLibraryDescriptor"
>

and updated the stylesheet like (for example) <xsl:template
match="tld:taglib"> and all works wonderfully.

Cheers,
Jon
