     The version attribute should be in no namespace.  The same is true 
for all attributes defined by the XSLT Recommendation when they appear on 
elements that are in the XSLT namespace.  Those XSLT attributes that are 
permitted to appear on literal result elements, on the other hand, must be 
in the XSLT namespace when they appear on an LRE in order to have any 
effect.

     If you change your addAttribute method invocation to the following, I 
believe it should work.  Note that I've changed the type of the attribute 
to the type declared by the DTD fragment for XSLT stylesheets.[1]

atts.addAttribute("", "version", "version", "NMTOKEN", "1.0");

Thanks,

Henry
