This is a bit puzzling. What is the stylesheet document element start tag,
literally?

It should be something like (at least)

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
                xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

If the namespace declaration is wrong, that would explain why you get your
stylesheets back (the processor isn't recognizing them as stylesheets).
This is actually a feature, not a bug.

The puzzling part is the bit about having a version attribute, but getting
a complaint about that too.

So what does your stylesheet start tag look like?
