Thanks Michael, I will process the xml file and eliminate the
"<?QM: GENERATOR [Ref] 10055: ParaHeading:NEW?>" text from the xml file.

Just wondering, if there is a way to disable the namespace awareness
while parsing the xml document, using "javax.xml.transform.Transformer".

Thanks,
Navpreet.

XSLT will only handle input that is well-formed XML conforming to the
Namespaces recommendation. So if you can't change the input to be
well-formed, then you can't use XSLT.

Of course, you could tackle it by preprocessing in a non-XML technology
such
as Perl, and then using XSLT.
