I think this is how it works: XSTLC ("Xalan-Java Compiling processor") is
the default XSLT processor in the latest JDK (J2SE 5.0). That means that it
is used when a transformation is invoked via the JAXP APIs, unless another
processor has been explicitly specified. In previous versions of the JDK,
the default XSLT processor was Xalan ("Xalan-Java Interpretive processor").

The whole point of XSLTC is that it uses a compiled form of the stylesheet
(a "translet"). Apparently, there are problems with compiling DocBook
stylesheets. I don't know why.
Maybe you can get more information from the xalan-dev list:
