RE: upgrading to XSLT 2 was: string token removal

nope. I don't have saxon in any stylesheet element or attribute, But I did
have a reference to the saxon653.jar file in my classpath because I'm
extending docbook for internal uses. I removed that from my classpath.. So
after I got rid of the "1.0" errors, I now move this topic to docbook,
because it seems that docbook doesn't like saxon 8.

Thanks very much Michael!
