Mike,
Using this xml in a file emb.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xml" href="#style1"?>
<books>
<book>some book</book>

  <xsl:stylesheet id="style1"
    version="1.0"
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
    <xsl:template match="book">
      <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </xsl:template>
    <xsl:template match="xsl:stylesheet"/>
  </xsl:stylesheet>
</books>
And this command line with saxon 6.4.3
C:\temp>saxon -a emb.xml
Gives me
Transformation failed: Stylesheet is empty or absent
Changing type="text/xml" to type="text/xsl" makes no difference.
What am I doing wrong?

Ciao Chris
