In this situation I can't see why you want to make a copy
of the original
node. Why not just do:
<xsl:variable name="thissection" select="../myns:section"/>
In the real environment I do something like:
<xsl:variable name="thissection" >
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="../myns:section">
<xsl:sequence select="../myns:section"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="../../myns:section">
<xsl:sequence select="../../myns:section"/>
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>
with first checking where the matching node exists and then set a
variable to this to access the subnodes of $thissection.
So, is there is another way to set the original node to $thissection
variable without the xsl:sequence?
It's not xsl:sequence that's the problem, it's the fact that you are
creating a temporary tree, which always causes nodes to be copied.
You can use
<xsl:variable name="thissection"
select="(../myns:section, ../../myns:section)[1]"/>
