for those not understanding this ... i get the following error when i

The name "xsl:stylesheet" is not legal for JDOM/XML elements: : is 
not allowed in XML names.. org.jdom.IllegalNameException: The name 
"xsl:stylesheet" is not legal for JDOM/XML elements: : is not allowed 
in XML names..

You need to create a Namespace object for the xsl namespace. For example,

Element e = new Element("stylesheet", "xsl", "http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/XSLT");

We should clean up the error message to make this more obvious.
