RE: [xsl] node returned from a user function is no longer a node??

Turns out I was using xsl:value-of instead of xsl:sequence, doh.  Thanks
though.

So it seems that it's being converted to a string for some reason, so 
I try to set the function's return type to as="node()" or
as="element()"
(don't know the difference) but now the compiler seems to require an 
object to always be returned, a case which I don't know how to handle 
(returning () causes compiler complaint too).

Probably what you want is:

  element()?

which means that the return type is a sequence of  0 or 1 elements.
