Doh! You're absolutely right. I read about that a while ago, but
somehow completely slipped my mind. Thanks, this is by far the most
helpful list I've ever subscribed to.

It's presumably failing because you declared the type on xsl:param not to
accept an empty sequence. For example if you write <xsl:param name="p"
as="xs:string"/> then an empty sequence will not be accepted. If you change
it to <xsl:param name="p" as="xs:string?"/> then an empty sequence is OK.

Subject: [xsl] Possible to pass 'empty sequence' to function?
Hi,
Using Saxon 8 and XSLT 2.0, I have some functions defined in my
stylesheet using <xsl:function/>.
These functions usually have parameters to pass it an element. The
trasnformation fails when I pass an empty sequence as a parameter.
Since I may call a particular function as part of my xpath from many
parts of the stylesheet, I would much rather the function handle null
elements rather than doing it at each place I call it.
Is there no way to allow my function to accept empty sequence
parameters??
Thanks!
