Re: [xsl] Avoiding multiple "apply-templates" by creating one variable for the clauses. Is it possible?

what about //blog[not($AuthorId) or (author_id =
$AuthorId)][not($CategoryId) or (category_id = $CategoryId)]

Thanks Andrew, that looks exactly like what I'm looking for, but I get a
big ole error:

Expected token ')', found ','.
//blog[author_id = ($AuthorId -->,<--  author_id)[1]][category_id = ($...

Any ideas?

Is that an XSLT 1.0 processor giving that error?

I'm not sure what ($AuthorId, author_id) is meant to do?

In XSLT 2.0 it is simply a sequence consisting of $AuthorId and author_id.
The trailing [1] then takes the first item in that sequence thus if
$AuthorId is not the empty sequence then author_id is compared to the value
of (the first item) $AuthorId and if it the empty sequence then it is
compared to author_id itself which is always true, basically not doing any
filtering at all.
