XSLTC: can't serialize stylesheet

           Summary: XSLTC: can't serialize stylesheet
           Product: XalanJ2
           Version: 2.3
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Xalan-Xsltc
        AssignedTo: xalan-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jgauthier@silverstream.com


Using xalan 2.3.1, I'm unable to serialize a stylesheet with an xsltc 
TransformerFactory implementation.  The same code works fine with the default 
xalan TransformerFactory.  The xsltc implementation will serialize a non-
namespaced xml document but not a namespaced xsl document.

Here's sample code to demonstrate the problem.  

            DocumentBuilderFactory domFactory = 
DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
            domFactory.setNamespaceAware(true);  // or false, doesn't matter
            DocumentBuilder builder = domFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
            doc = builder.parse(new FileInputStream(file_name));

            ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
            TransformerFactory tfactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
            Transformer serializer = tfactory.newTransformer();
            DOMSource domSource = new DOMSource(doc);
            serializer.transform(domSource, new StreamResult(baos));


When I execute this code for any stylesheet (e.g., the identity stylesheet), I 
receive the following error:

ERROR: Namespace for prefix 'mlns' has not been declared.
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: java.lang.RuntimeException: Namespace 
for prefix 'mlns' has not been declared.
