In reverse order, on the fn: - good point, I'll remove them.
On the apply templates versus call, I've never been able to get my
head round the apply-templates bit, particular because of the need to
use a mode. I personally read apply-templates as, "something happens
here, but I don't know what" !!
Call templates makes it explicit as to what happens. My personal take
on that bit.
But as I say since it means you are not using the main control construct
of the language, the program needs a lot more code (and is a lot less
flexible, template application typically automaticaly recururses through
element structure, whereas passing a message parameter you need to do it
by hand 9and if the input isn't exactly as you expect it fails, as
you've found)
On the problem I'm having, I have put in trace output, to push out
$message at each stage.
value-of doesn't tell you what you need to know as it removes the structure
<foo><bar>hello</bar></foo> and "hello" both have string value
"hello" but if they were in $message they would need very different paths.
<xsl:message select="$message"/>
would reveal more but still won't show you the difference between an
element trade and a document node with element trade as child.
Try putting as="element(trade)" on xsl:param that you think should get
trade elements (and similarly other xsl;param)

depending on whether or not its the compound xsl or the single stage
xsl
