David:  sorry about the typos... 

Ok, and sorry for beating this into the ground but a parameter who
shall be evaluated as a node-list must have been defined like this:

<xsl:param name="my_param" select="()"/>

Where the "()" select will evaluate to an empty sequence when none was
supplied.  I understand that it could be any valid xpath expression.

If defined like this:
<xsl:param name="my_param" select="/"/>

Or this:
<xsl:param name="my_param" select="."/>

And the param "my_param" is not supplied you will end up with a copy
of the document source "/" or current context "." (respectively).  Do
I have this correct?




$match is:
<match>A</match>
<match>B</match>

$match is a parameter for one of my templates.  The intent of the
template:  SELECT ALL -or- SELECT ALL where @component = $match.

In this example:
<xsl:template match="X[(_at_)component=$match] | X[not(@component=$match)]"/>

Select ALL X elements who's @component is one of the $match elements
-OR- when $match does not exist, SELECT ALL.  Is that not what the
above template match yields?

   <xsl:template match="X[(_at_)component=$match] |

   but that is just a long way of writing

<xsl:template match="X"/>
