I'm getting this error when converting it to xsl SXXP0003: Error reported by XML parser: Premature end of file.

Answer 1

I am getting a different error, caused by the "UTF‐8" part in the opening XML declaration. The ‐ character is a HYPHEN (ߚ). Replacing it with a HYPHEN-MINUS (-) solves the problem.
