Why is only the root-element transformed?

[Ben Engbers]

Hi,

This is the first time I use SAX in order to translate my XML and I
encountered the following problem.

I use the following Java-code to produce xml that should be transformed
(Based on the xml that is created by the 'createXml()' several
underlying xml-files are merged together. The resulting xml seems to be
well-formed):
When I use the xsl-file, only the root element is transformed, resulting
in the output at the end of this message (blank lines are deleted).

Why are all the other elements ignored (If I write the xml and xsl to my
file-system and use Internet Exlorer to view the xml, the xml -s
transtlated as intended)?
