Saxon is telling you that the XML parser has found an error in your XML
document. Your first step is to get out of denial: title your post "my
errors" not "Saxon errors".

You certainly need to correct the well-formedness error in your first line
(XSLT can only handle well-formed XML input). You also need to look for the
root cause: where did that file come from, who is generating ill-formed
(non-)XML and how can you prevent its happening again?
