481572 - XML documents containing multiple xsl:stylesheet nodes fail to parse as XSLT

Status: NEW

(Core :: XSLT, defect)

Description

[David Eckel]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.6) Gecko/2009011913 Firefox/3.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.6) Gecko/2009011913 Firefox/3.0.6

When an XML document contains multiple xsl:stylesheet nodes, attempting to reference one of the stylesheets via id and matching URI fragment in an xml-stylesheet processing instruction causes the message "Error loading stylesheet: Parsing an XSLT stylesheet failed" to appear. 

Removing the non-referenced stylesheet will allow the transformation to succeed.

Changing the xml-stylesheet URI fragment to reference a non-existent xsl:stylesheet node when only one stylesheet is present also triggers the same error message and error console output as having multiple valid xsl:stylesheet nodes.

Reproducible: Always

Regression range:

Seems to be caused by bug 352601, or at least there was a similar error at that time.

The regression is >2yrs old which means that not a lot of people noticed, even after we released Firefox 3.0, so I don't think we need to block. Would take a fix, though!
