That's not quite true.  The build file talks about 1.72 since that was
the first version I used but I'm pretty sure I've used 1.73.2 when I
re-created the user guide for XMLUnit 1.2 (since this is the only
version I can currently find on the machine I used to create the
release).

I don't speak french but I think I've seen similar messages as well.  It
turned out to not be a problem with the stylesheets but with the XSLT
processor I used.  In my case I ensured I had a recent version of Xalan
when building the userguide (2.7.1 at that time) since the XSLT
transformers of JDK 1.4 or even worse 1.5 and later couldn't work with
the stylesheets.

I'd assume xsltproc or saxon would work as well - but you'd need to
modify the build file to use xsltproc.
