Clearly this problem is in the process that generates your XML and has
absolutely nothing to do with XSLT.

> hello,
> I am using oracle 8.1.7 database on windows2000 advanced 
> server and XSU package. When i generate an xml file from the 
> database tables, i get an error message on the internet 
> explorer: "A name contained an invalid character. Error 
> Processing Resource". The problem is that some of the tags 
> are cut into two and the second goes to a new line when the 
> xml file is generated. If i open the file in notepad and 
> readjust the tags to become one on the same line then the xml 
> file is loaded correctly... This is the output of the 
> generated XML on IE6.0.
> 
> The XML page cannot be displayed
> Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct 
> the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
