Thanks for going through the hoops, I looked at the stack trace and I
found that GNU Emacs has a different syntax for make-char-table. I use
XEmacs for my development and do ports to GNU Emacs from time to time
only. I will look into the problem and let you know when I have a fix
for it.

Yes, I discovered that too some time ago. The XSLT processing though
seems to create the XSLT processor each time you invoke it, thus there
is a start-up overhead each time you run it. I use the editing mode
for XSLTs though, it's quite nice.
