Transform XSLT using Xalan in secure processing mode into XHTML

["Kazakov, Victor D" <Vi...@ca.com>]

Hi,
I'm trying to use the updated version of Xalan (2.7.2) in secure mode and having issue with it not able to understand unknown attributes. The problem is, it prevents you from using any stylesheet that emits XHTML (in secure processing mode) because it disallows things like "colspan" attributes of "th" elements.

The associated changed file is here: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/xalan/java/branches/xalan-j_2_7_1_maint/src/org/apache/xalan/processor/XSLTElementProcessor.java?r1=1359736&r2=1581058&pathrev=1581058&diff_format=h

See the attached example.
It returns this error:
Exception in thread "main" javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException: javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: org.xml.sax.SAXException: "colspan" attribute is not allowed on the th element!
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: "colspan" attribute is not allowed on the th element!

Am I doing something wrong with the stylesheet or am I missing setting a feature on the transformer factory. How would you transform a stylesheet that emits (X)HTML in secure processing mode using Xalan?

Thanks,
