    <xsl:variable name="x" as="element()">
     <stone/>
    </xsl:variable>
    
    which makes $x into _just_ a free standing element node 
    with no parent.
    
    Now
    
    <xsl:apply-templates select="$x"/>
    
    would work and templates matching "stone" would apply but 
    thiose matching "//stone" would not.


Thanks David. Not sure I can see the rationale behind that,
but that does make it... fairly clear.

" match="//stone" will only match a stone element that belongs to a document 
tree. "

Does the match just fail .... or is it an error? Suck it and see?
Then recall that match="stone" works similarly (in 1.0) to //stone. 


I can see lots of fun and games with these subtleties.
