[PATCH] new xsl tag "name" attr broken

[Jeff Turner <je...@socialchange.net.au>]

Argh. Just spent 8 hours tracking down why the "name" attribute isn't working
in the "rel2"-tagged xsl taglib. You can do interesting non-deterministic
things with typecasted nulls ;)

Anyway, patch is attached.

Btw, I have a working build.xml and a couple of samples here, if anyone wants.

Thanks Jeff, I'll make sure this patch gets applied.  Good catch.
