[xsl] Using for-each on user arguments [was: Re: Passing a list of arguments]

Ok

  Maybe with a more explicit title I'll get some help. Basically I am
trying to avoid writting an infinite <xsl:if test="arg1 or arg2 or
arg3 ... ">. So as a procedurial guy I thought of doing a list of user
defined values to iterate over. This lead me to (*), but of course
this cannot be working since I got mixup in between my user input arg
list, and the real XML document I am trying to parse.

  Thanks for help

Hello,

  I have a list of arguments to pass to my XSLT. I thought that I
could simply construct a small XML tree to do that. I do not
understand why the list argument tree is being expanded. How was I
supposed to do that ?

Thanks
