Namespace attribute order

Hi,

I'm using xalan 2.7.1.
My xml stream to be transformed is generated by JaxB, which is 
generating his own namespace attribute  order.
But this order is not xalan compatible.

Example:
<Transaction xmlns="http://www.av2s.com/xft" 
xsi:type="TransactionRequestType" 
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
xsi:type="TransactionRequestType" ...>
....
</Transaction>

I get this error during XSL transformation:
org.apache.crimson.parser/P-084 xsi:type
; Line#: 1; Column#: -1
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: 
org.apache.crimson.parser/P-084 xsi:type
     at 
org.apache.xalan.transformer.TransformerImpl.fatalError(TransformerImpl.java:742)

I thought crimson project had been retired...

It's seem that the xsi namespace need to be defined as an attribute 
before use (xsi:type). Whereas attribute order in XML
specification don't need to be managed.

so, who's wrong (jaxB attribute creation order  or xalan XSLT attribute 
order reading ?
