And eventually I do
<xsl:call-template name="insert">
<xsl:with-param name="default" select="$named-nodes[1]/@default" />
</xsl:call-template>
...
I have tried adding as="xs:string" to the xsl:with-param and also to the
xsl:param as I'd have thought that even though it may be the case that
the processor would reject an empty node-set or sequence if I was
passing one it should surely expect a string to be allowed to be empty.

Have you tried:   select="string($named-nodes[1]/@default)"

That will guarantee that what you send is a string.

I hope this helps.
