Stupid question perhaps, but are you sure your source document is valid?
The only two typical reasons for MSXML giving you a null document element
are either because the file doesn't exist (or is unreachable on the server),
or an error occurs during parsing.  Unless of course you're  loading a
massive document on a severely memory-limited client...I guess that might
cause it too.

PS I'm sure someone will mention that this isn't an XSLT question though :)
