xerces version 1.2.1 and earlier version were buggy and usually barf
on normnan stylesheet more so if your xml has even one mistake(i.e. if
it is not docbook DTD compliant but it can still be a valid XML). i had also 
noticed that it usually goes bonkers on id/idref pair so.... infact usually xref
element after bugging norman about buggy stylesheet then i realised
that my XML was sometimes not valid docbook XML and this rectified the
error on id/idref.

i use :-

xerces 1_2_2
xalan 1_2_2
IBM jdk 1.3 (JDK2)
RedHat ver 7.0

hope this might be of some use

regards
have fun but do take care
