A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :

javax.xml.transform.Transformer in JAXP API does not work with XSLT tag <xsl:element>.

It is not possible using the tag <xsl:element name="{$varName}"> with dynamic element name.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Using following xslt source produces the error "Unknown SystemId; ... Invalid value for attribute name":

XSLT SOURCE:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
    <xsl:output method="xml" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
    <xsl:template match="child::foo">
        <xsl:variable name="elemName" select="."/>
        <xsl:element name="{$elemName}"/>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
For input
<foo>...</foo>

the output of the transformation should be:
<foo/>
