One of us is missing something. The first element (list) starts on line
1.  The second element (<thing id="1">) starts on line 2.  The format
used by xsl:message is:

<URI>:<linenumber>: <content of xsl:message converted to a string>

This is the same format that XP and XT use for other error messages.
