What i was doing obviousl;y does not work because it needs to be a nodeset.
Can any one tell me how to do this without using the extension : nodeset.
Its is MANDATORY that I DO NOT USE the extension nodeset.
YOU ARE NOT OBLIGED TO! :{)}
I hope you find the example below useful. It is based on the principle
that a stylesheet can read itself as if it were a source node tree by
passing an empty string to the document() function.
