Xsl:include msg - document following root element must be well-formed

Question

I am getting the following message when I try to execute a transaction that takes an XML file & transforms it.  The message is:
"[ERROR]: XSLTransform error: javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException: javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The markup in the document following the root element must be well-formed."
The transaction loads an xml input file, and then transforms it.  The transformation stylesheet does some formatting to the xml.  The stylesheet has an include in it that adds an element to the output. 
Input XML data
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Rowset>
    <Row>
        <ItemNo>00000000001884304</ItemNo>
        <ItemDesc>Test Item Description</ItemDesc>
    </Row>
</Rowset>
Expected output:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Item>
    <Items ItemDesc="Test Item Description" RawItemNo="00000000001884304" dotties="...................." editedItemNo="1884304" supernova="**********" />
</Item>
If I point the <xsl:include to a web folder on a test box, it will read & translate the data into the expected output.  However, when I have both the initial stylesheet and the include stylesheet in the same Web folder in MII, I get the above message.  If the URL is any different, it generates an IO error. 
The initial stylesheet is
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" >
<xsl:output method="xml" />
<xsl:include href="http://myserver:myport/XMII/CM/foldername/testcalls_2.xsl"/>
<xsl:variable name="wrkitem" select="//ItemNo"/>
<xsl:template match="Row">
     <xsl:call-template name="RowEdit"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="RowEdit" match="Row">
      <Item>
     <xsl:element name="Items" use-attribute-sets="RowChange">
           </xsl:element>
       </Item>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:attribute-set name="RowChange">
     <xsl:attribute name="RawItemNo">
           <xsl:value-of select="//ItemNo"/>
     </xsl:attribute>
     <xsl:attribute name="editedItemNo">
          <xsl:call-template name="removeLeadingZeros">
               <xsl:with-param name="originalString" select="$wrkitem"/>
          </xsl:call-template>
     </xsl:attribute>
     <xsl:attribute name="ItemDesc">
               <xsl:value-of select="//ItemDesc"/>
     </xsl:attribute>
     <xsl:attribute name="dotties">
          <xsl:call-template name="dots">
                     <xsl:with-param name="count" select="20"/>
              </xsl:call-template>
     </xsl:attribute>
     <xsl:attribute name="supernova">
          <xsl:call-template name="stars">
          </xsl:call-template>
     </xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>
  <xsl:template name="dots">
        <xsl:param name="count" select="1"/>
      <xsl:if test="$count > 0">
        <xsl:text>.</xsl:text>
        <xsl:call-template name="dots">
          <xsl:with-param name="count" select="$count - 1"/>
        </xsl:call-template>
      </xsl:if>
  </xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="removeLeadingZeros"> 
  <xsl:param name="originalString"/> 
  <xsl:choose> 
    <xsl:when test="starts-with($originalString,'0')"> 
      <xsl:call-template name="removeLeadingZeros"> 
        <xsl:with-param name="originalString"> 
          <xsl:value-of select="substring-after($originalString,'0' )"/> 
        </xsl:with-param> 
      </xsl:call-template> 
    </xsl:when> 
    <xsl:otherwise> 
      <xsl:value-of select="$originalString"/>
    </xsl:otherwise> 
  </xsl:choose> 
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
and the stylesheet being called by the xsl:include -
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template name="stars" match="Item">
<Stars>
     <xsl:element name="BBB">
          <xsl:text>**********</xsl:text>
     </xsl:element>
</Stars>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
FYI, both of the stylesheets above are in the same folder on the WEB tab in MII.  The full name (properties tab) is:
foldername/WEB/Test/stylesheet.xsl
Also, I am able to browse & view each of them in IE.  The url they are at is:
http://server:port/XMII/CM/foldername/test/stylesheet.xsl
Both stylesheets appear to be well-formed.
If I use any other syntax other than the full URL, the error it generates is an IO Exception on the included stylesheet.  The markup message above makes me believe that it is at least attempting to handle the included stylesheet. 
In the Link editor of the xsl Transformation Incoming tab, there are two assignments being made.
1.  Transform property
object= xsl_transformation_0
property=Transform
expression="db://foldername/WEB/Test/stylesheet.xsl" (this is the initial, not included stylesheet)
Link type=Assign Value
2.  Input property
object= xsl_transformation_0
property=Input
Expression=testitems_0.XmlContent
Link type=Assign XML
Running MII 12.0
Thoughts?  Any input appreciated.

In the first one you have two namespaces both with the same prefix.
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" and xmlns:xsi="http://xxxxxx/webservices/sites/"
