RE: named template that returns xpath expression

But not with Xalan :-(. Is there anybody who knows the reason for
this?

You are using an old version, upgrade and this works fine.

             <xsl:attribute name="href">
               <xsl:value-of select="$location"/>
             </xsl:attribute>
           </a>
         </div>
       </xsl:when>
       <xsl:otherwise>
         <p><xsl:apply-templates /></p>
       </xsl:otherwise>
     </xsl:choose>
   </xsl:template>

works as desired.

Saxon (6.3) output:

<div class="note">
   <a 
href="/glossary[1]/glossentry[1]/glossdef[1]/paragraph[2]">par
agraph</a>
</div>

Xalan (2.1.0) output

<div class="note">
   <a 
href="/glossary[]/glossentry[]/glossdef[]/paragraph[]">paragraph</a>
</div>
