You are not passing "text" as an argument, you are passing a result tree
fragment. Calling xsl:apply-templates on a result tree fragment is
disallowed by the XSLT 1.0 specification, but because it was permitted
by the XSLT 1.1 working drafts and now the XSLT 2.0 working drafts, some
processors allow it.
With a processor that doesn't allow it, you need to use the
xx:node-set() extension to turn the result tree fragment into a
node-set.

Subject: [xsl] Applying text nodes: 2 processors, 2 behaviours
Hi,
I have a named template that calls the <xsl:apply-templates>
instruction on its argument; however I have problem when I
pass a text as argument. More precisely with Sablot XSLT
processor I obtain the result I expect (and that I would it
be!!) whereas with LibXSLT processor I do not get what I
want. Reading the W3C XSLT spec I found: ... In the absence
of a select attribute, the xsl:apply-templates instruction
processes all of the children of the current node, including
text nodes. However, text nodes that have been stripped as
specified in [3.4 Whitespace Stripping] will not be
processed. If stripping of whitespace nodes has not been
enabled for an element, then all whitespace in the content of
the element will be processed as text, and thus whitespace
between child elements will count in determining the position
of a child element as returned by the position function. ...
So it's seem that LibXSLT fails!!
For clarity I give you a simple example:
XML:
--------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<root>
<node>foobar</node>
</root>
--------------------------
XSL:
--------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
<xsl:output method="html" encoding="ISO-8859-1"
media-type="text/html" indent="yes" />
<xsl:template match="root">
<html>
<body>
<xsl:call-template name="msg">
<xsl:with-param name="title">A
Title</xsl:with-param>
<xsl:with-param name="body">Body:
<xsl:value-of select="node" /></xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="msg">
<xsl:param name="title" />
<xsl:param name="body" />
<p><strong><xsl:apply-templates select="$title"
/></strong></p>
<p><em><xsl:apply-templates select="$body"
/></em></p> </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
--------------------------
So Am I confused or ....?!?!
Thank you in advance!!!!!
