"The stylesheet does not contain a document element. The stylesheet may be 
empty, or it may not be a well-formed XML document."

If you get this error then the stylesheet loading has failed. After calling 
doc.load make sure to check the result by doc.parseError.reason to ensure 
that the documents are loaded.
