LexicalHandler not called using SAXSource and document() function

Hello all,

I try to use the document() function to include XML instances from a 
database. For passing character entities I need to use the startEntity() 
and endEntity() calls on the LexicalHandler. In the URIResolver I create 
a XMLReader and set this reader on the SAXSource, which I return to the 
processor. Code goes like that:
  public Source resolve(String href, String base)
      throws TransformerException {
      SAXSource source = null;
      XMLReader sourcereader = null;
      PublishLexicalHandler lh = new PublishLexicalHandler();

      try {
          sourcereader = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader();
          sourcereader.setFeature(VALIDATION, true);
          
sourcereader.setProperty("http://xml.org/sax/properties/lexical-handler";,  
lh); // doesn't work for <xsl:for-each select="document(...)"/>
          sourcereader.setErrorHandler(new PublishErrorHandler());
    
      } catch (SAXNotRecognizedException nre) {
      } catch (SAXNotSupportedException nse) {
      } catch (SAXException e1) {
      }
     
      sourcereader.setEntityResolver(this);
      source = new SAXSource(moduleResolver.resolveModule(new 
CMSParameters(href)));
      source.setXMLReader(sourcereader);
     
      return source;
  }

The problem is, that the LexicalHandler ("lh") receives no calls, when I 
invoce the document() function in my XSLT templates. Curiously it works 
with <xsl:include ...>. I don't know if  this is a bug/missing feature 
in Xalan or if I missunderstood something.
Please advice.
