Your luck was better than mine - I couldn't get any output at all from
xalan2/xerces. It said it was writing the html files, but nothing
appeared on my disk. I tried it with versions 1.29, 1.34, 1.36, and
1.37 of the stylesheets. 

But then I never use Xalan, so I may have done something wrong.

However, Saxon 6.02/Crimson 1.1 worked fine, as always. Bookmarks and all.

my $0.02,
