loadXML() of Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0 fails

I'm using MSXML 2.0 to manipulate XML/XSLT files in my ASP code. I'm running the following code:

Set ObjXSLTemplate = CreateObject("Msxml2.XSLTemplate.4.0")
Set ObjXSLDoc = CreateObject("Msxml2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument.4.0")
Set ObjXMLDoc = CreateObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0")
ObjXSLDoc.async = false
ObjXSLDoc.resolveExternal = false
ObjXSLDoc.load("QNS.xsl")
ObjXMLDoc .async = false
ObjXMLDoc .resolveExternal = false
ObjXMLDoc .loadXML(xml)
set ObjXSLTemplate.stylesheet = ObjXSLDoc
set ObjXSLProc = ObjXSLTemplate.createProcessor()
ObjXSLProc.input = ObjXMLDoc
ObjXSLProc.Transform()
if LogALL then WriteToLog "Result XML after XSL transformation: " & ObjXSLProc.output
ObjXMLDoc.loadXML(ObjXSLProc.output)



xml is a string that contains XML tree:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Response>
   <EmailCounters>
      <NewEmailMsg>-1</NewEmailMsg>
      <TotalEmailMsg>-1</TotalEmailMsg>
      <UrgentEmailMsg>-1</UrgentEmailMsg>
   </EmailCounters>
   <VoiceCounters>
      <NewFaxMsg>-1</NewFaxMsg>
      <NewVoiceMsg>-1</NewVoiceMsg>
      <TotalFaxMsg>-1</TotalFaxMsg>
      <TotalVoiceMsg>-1</TotalVoiceMsg>
      <UrgentMsg>-1</UrgentMsg>
   </VoiceCounters>
   <EmailCountersUpdate>
      <NewEmailMsgUD>Deactivate</NewEmailMsgUD>
      <TotalEmailMsgUD>Deactivate</TotalEmailMsgUD>
      <UrgentEmailMsgUD>Deactivate</UrgentEmailMsgUD>
   </EmailCountersUpdate>
   <VoiceCountersUpdate>
      <NewFaxMsgUD>Deactivate</NewFaxMsgUD>
      <NewVoiceMsgUD>Deactivate</NewVoiceMsgUD>
      <TotalFaxMsgUD>Deactivate</TotalFaxMsgUD>
      <TotalVoiceMsgUD>Deactivate</TotalVoiceMsgUD>
      <UrgentMsgUD>Deactivate</UrgentMsgUD>
   </VoiceCountersUpdate>
   <AccountInfo>
      <LastMsgType>voice</LastMsgType>
   </AccountInfo>
</Response>



QNS.xsl contains:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="/Response">
<mb>
<nem><xsl:value-of select="EmailCounters/NewEmailMsg"/></nem>
<em><xsl:value-of select="EmailCounters/TotalEmailMsg"/></em>
<nvm><xsl:value-of select="VoiceCounters/NewVoiceMsg"/></nvm>
<vm><xsl:value-of select="VoiceCounters/TotalVoiceMsg"/></vm>
<nfm><xsl:value-of select="VoiceCounters/NewFaxMsg"/></nfm>
<fm><xsl:value-of select="VoiceCounters/TotalFaxMsg"/></fm>
<uem></uem>
<um></um>
</mb>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/EmailCountersUpdate"/>
<xsl:template match="/VoiceCountersUpdate"/>
<xsl:template match="/AccountInfo"/>
<xsl:template match="//UrgentEmailMsg"/>
<xsl:template match="//UrgentMsg"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Transformation result that appears in the logger is :

Result XML after XSL transformation: <?xml version="1.0"?><mb><nem>-1</nem><em>-1</em><nvm>-1</nvm><vm>-1</vm><nfm>-1</nfm><fm>-1</fm></mb>

But,  ObjXMLDoc.loadXML(ObjXSLProc.output) fails with the following error:

XML document must have a top level element


What's wrong?
