XslCompiledTran sform.Load() fails sometimes

[mrjaxon]

Basically the issue is, when the XSL style sheet is loaded by URI it
is cool but when the exact same style sheet loaded by it's contents
the load fails (for this particular style sheet). Because our sheets
are kept in a DB, loading by content is preferable.

Content based load code:

Stream xslStream = new MemoryStream(xs lString);
XmlReader xslTextReader = XmlReader.Creat e(xslStream);
compliedXsl.Loa d(xslTextReader );

URI based load code:
compliedXsl.Loa d(xslUri);
The error states that there in an invalid character for the encoding
at line 2140 position 365.

Here is the problematic template from the style sheet (sorry it's so
long i could not include the entire thing, but The line below that
starts with "select="transl ate(translate(t ranslate(substr ing-
after(..." is line 2140.):
