Well, you've looked at your code, and you see find any reason; neither
can I. I've run it through all 3 XSLT processors I use (saxon, 4xslt, and
xsltproc), and I don't get the error you're seeing. So it's pretty unlikely
the problem is with your code. Some or all of the following info might help
in figuring this out:

  what XSLT processor you're using (have you tried another?)
  how are you invoking the processor (command line or API)
  what form does the data come in (file, stream, string variable?)
  what platform you're running on
  what specific environment you're viewing the output in (e.g., bash shell,
    DOS prompt, TextPad ...)
  your locale settings, if any
  other environment variables
