I just tried the XML (not the XSQL) and the stylesheet and the resulting
output works fine with Xalan. If you're getting the table heading but
not the rows, there must be a problem with the select in the for-each.
Can you verify that the XML results from the xsql file actually match
the XML that you think it does?
