You sometimes get this error when you've edited the XSLT using Windows
Notepad, which inserts a Byte Order Mark (BOM) into the file even
though its not encoded in UTF-16.  Try saving the file using a decent
editor and see if that helps, failing that post the bytes that consist
of the first few
characters in the file.

Also check out the "XSL-List" where questions like this crop up more often.
