Re: [xsl] Nicer way to change context-node than xsl:for-each ?

It seems to me, xsl:for-each won't be required in this case. You only
want to process "one" element (*[1] implies that!).

Therefore, I could have written the stylesheet logic as follows:

<xsl:template match="foo">
 <xsl:variable name="x" select="*[1]" />
 <xsl:value-of select="$x" />
 <!-- can do other things, on "x" -->
</xsl:template>

the for-each wasn't needed for value-of but it is needed to change the
context for call-template, which the original post indicated was also
required.
