RE: Error in XPath 2.0 expression Too many items

Just to speculate some more, I guess you have something like this:

<xsl:variable name="vCityStateZip">
  <xsl:value-of select="city"/>
  <xsl:value-of select="state"/>
  <xsl:value-of select="zip"/>
</xsl:variable>

and you really want:

<xsl:variable name="vCityStateZip" as="xs:string">
  <xsl:value-of>
    <xsl:value-of select="city"/>
    <xsl:value-of select="state"/>
    <xsl:value-of select="zip"/>
  </xsl:value-of>
</xsl:variable>

The former is sequence of several items, the latter is a 
sequence of one item.

Actually, the former is a single item: a document node. An xsl:variable with
child instructions and no "as" attribute always produces a document node.

But IIRC there were reports that an early version of the Altova XSLT 2.0
processor got this wrong.
