This would never happen if the type of the variable is declared as a

<xsl:copy-of select="doc('lsb/content/modules-1-glossary.xml')//

<xsl:copy-of select="doc('lsb/content/modules-4-glossary.xml')//

Even more, there is no need to copy all these nodes. One can just
reference them, even in XSLT 1.0 (just omit the "as" attribute):
<xsl:variable name="defs" as="element()*" select =
"
document('lsb/content/glossary-1.1.1.xml')//tr
|
document('lsb/content/modules-1-glossary.xml')//tr
|
document('lsb/content/modules-2-glossary.xml')//tr
|
document('lsb/content/modules-3-glossary.xml')//tr
|
document('lsb/content/modules-4-glossary.xml')//tr
"
/>
Sweet!

ufff... nevermind. I needed to do:

Hi, (using saxon9)
I have a few pages that each contain a table of definitions. The
tables
look like (they do not have a namespace):
<table border="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td>
<p>absenteeism</p>
</td>
<td>
<p>frequent or habitual absence from school</p>
</td>
</tr>
....
Can I gather up all of the TR elements, like my defs variable
below (or
some other way) and apply-templates on them (while sorting)? The
stylesheet
below causes an error "Too many nested apply-templates calls. The
stylesheet
may be looping." at the <xsl:apply-templates select="$defs">
What am I doing wrong here?
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";

<xsl:template match="/">

<xsl:template match="tr">
<xsl:variable name="term" select="normalize-space(td[1]/p/

<xsl:variable name="file-name" select="translate($term, ' ',

<glossentry file-name="{$file-name}">
<term>
