I ran into the exact same problem as Matthew. As Richard said, your
processor probably has a "node-set" function that you can call to turn a
"result tree fragment" into a node set. In MSXML4 I had to do this:
<xsl:stylesheet
version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt">
The last line of that is what matters for using "node-set".
And then I called node-set like this:
select="msxsl:node-set($fragment_variable)"
or similar.
HTH.

I'm trying to assign a variable a node-set that depends on a
parameter
passed into the stylesheet.
<xsl:param name="nodeValue">something</xsl:param>
<xsl:param name="valueSearch">false</xsl:param>
<xsl:variable name="initialResult">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$valueSearch='false'">
<xsl:value-of
select="/one/two[three/four[contains(text(),$nodeValue)]]"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of
select="/one/two[three/four[contains(text(),$nodeValue)]]"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates select="$initialResult"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/one/two">
...
</xsl:template>
I get an error in oXygen saying, "Cannot process a result tree
fragment
as a node-set under XSLT 1.0"
EXSLT provides the function exslt:node-set(some-node-set) (in the
namespace xmlns:exslt="http://exslt.org/common";, but only if your
processor supports it) which turns a variable into a node set. Its
quite
expensive, though.
