Xalan-J2.0.0 bug

I have isolated a bug that causes an exception in the transformer for
Xalan-J2.0.0 (released version), but worked fine for J1.  Below is the
stripped down input xml and stylesheet to reproduce the problem.  The
line in the stylesheet that causes the exception is when it tries to
reference a non-existent attribute on an element
($hotelnode/location/@country).
  Let me know if you need more info.
