So, make the variable
<xsl:variable name="vdo" select="node()" />
Come to think of it, I'm wondering what difference the intermediate variable
makes:
<xsl:variable name="somevar" select="node()" />
<xsl:for-each select="../element">
<xsl:apply-templates select="$somevar">
<xsl:with-param name="p" select="." />
...
Or
<xsl:for-each select="../element">
<xsl:apply-templates select="../body/node()">
<xsl:with-param name="p" select="." />
My inclination would be to assume that in the latter the expression
'../body/node()' would be evaluated for each ../element, where in the first
case the corresponding expression from a different context would be
evaluated only once, and the result is then readily available as a literal
for the context of the xsl:for-each. (making the first the better option
only in cases where the node-set is small but the expression to match it is
complex?)
Anyone to confirm/reject this assumption?
TIA
Andreas
