Ah, got what you mean. I'm changing them all and re testing now. Heres
hoping it'll work ;-)

Subject: Re: [xsl] Passing document fragments as nodsets
You said this in your reply
"A quick scan through your stylesheet shows that you're using the
content of the variable-binding elements quite a lot when you should
be using the select attribute instead."
I didn't quite understand what you ment by this. Do you mean in the
template
declaration or elswhere?
Jeni's message hasn't reached here yet, but she meant the same as I
meant when I wrote
As is said most days on this list, if you use with-param or variable
with a select expression rather than with content, it will be bound to
a node set not a result tree fragment.
If you mean to go
<xsl:variable name="x" select="y"/>
don't go
<xsl:variable name="x">
<xsl:copy-of select select="y"/>
</xsl:variable>
(and similarly xsl:param or xsl:with-param)
as it is a lot more to type, a lot more work for the XSLT stystem
(having to create a new tree with new nodes) and is a lot less useful as
it poduces a result tree fragment which without an extension function
can't be queried into with Xpath, only copied to the result, or used as
a string.
