Not much to go on here, but it could be that if you generating SAX
events from the result of A->B for the input of transformation C, you
are creating a new AttributesImpl() object instead of using the existing
object (typically 'atts') in the startElement() call.  It would be less
wild speculaton if you posted the method that chains the transforms :)
