Re: Fix for compiling DOM-Test-Suite with jdk-sun-1.2.2 + next problem.

The construct is called a "blank final" and is legal
(http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/second_edition/html/typesValues.doc.html
#10931), but there were compiler bugs in the 1.1.x series that would result
in compile failures.  I had not seen it in JDK 1.2.x or later compilers.
However, no big deal in changing it to avoid the compiler bug.

I think this is a bug in Xalan.  I've seen similar exceptions with earlier
version, but I thought they had been fixed.  You could switch to a different
XSLT engine (I'd suggest SAXON 6.5.2, http://saxon.sf.net), typically by
removing xalan.jar from Ant's lib directory and replacing it with saxon.jar.
