Description

XSL below is bas because of contents of attribute 'test' on element 'if' - this
crashes with message :

(Location of error unknown)XSLT Error
(javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException):
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: java.lang.RuntimeException:
Programmers assertion in getNextStepPos: unknown stepType:

{0}

I think a line number would be better.
