Anyone got suggestions as to how one picks a random node out of a

exslt has a random function or depending on how random and/or repeatable
you need the result you can in xslt 2 use the time of day to give you
some number of seconds.
Thank you!
I need to do a lot of this at once, so seconds won't help much, but a
random function is just the thing.
I assume you are using xslt 2 as your code snippet uses eq although
originally I'd assumed you needed an xslt 1 answer as xpath2 doesn't
have node sets (that was the datatatype in xpath 1)
True!
This is certainly in a 2.0 context.
"Node-set" seems indelibly stuck in my head; I blame traumatic events
involve producing DITA output in 2005. :)
