If the server complains that your XSL template or XML document contain errors, you can take a look at what the server sees by tracing all network traffic received by the server. Use the element <TRACE_TRAFFIC> to enable this debugging feature. The output will be written to the servers standard output. For server communications, lines in the template that start with a period or full-stop character. have an extra period character inserted. The end of the client transmission is marked by a line containing only a single period. You should just ignore these extra periods.
