You're on Windows, right? And you've got something like this in your
doc instance:

  <?xml-stylesheet 
  href="file:///d:/docbook/xsl-stylesheets/html/docbook.xsl"
  type="text/xsl"?>

I think the error message is saying your XSLT engine is confused by
the "d:" -- thinks it's trying to specify a protocol like http:, ftp:
or whatever.

The fix, I think, is to monkey with the number of slashes after the
real protocol identifier -- the "file:" part. That is, take a slash
out or put one more in, then try launching XSLT engine again.
