problem chaining stylesheets with java

I am trying to write a java application to chain together xslt
stylesheets. My code below is taken out of Michael Kay's book. I almost
have gotten it to run except the very last part. 

What I need to do is chain serveral stylesheets together, and then run
the final transfromation through a SAX filter to change the encoding of
the file. (I need to change unicode to microsoft ascii: Ö =>
/'u214/'d6)

The first two stylesheets transform the document. But the last SAX
filter has no affect. I know that the document is running through the
SAX filter because if I tell the SAX class to simply print out the name
of the element, it does. But the SAX class does not filter to my final
output.

Oddly enough, if I had an extra stylesheet *after* the SAX filter, then
the SAX filter does take affect.

I am probably overlooking something silly.

Thanks

Paul
