Looking at your output, it looks to
me like you are using XSLTC.  This is a known limitation with XSLTC.
 See Jira issue XALANJ-1552 [1] for example.

Would using Xalan-J Interpretive be
an option for you?  That processor does have support for supplying
a DOM Node as a parameter value,  but note that you will have to change
the line in your source that creates the DOMSource for the input document
to the following:

           DOMSource
source=new DOMSource( docSource);

That's because of another bug in how
the interpretive processor treats a node argument to DOMSource that is
not the root of a DOM tree.

I hope that helps.

Thanks,

Henry
