Thank you very much for your feedback, Michael and Martin.
I have two other questions. First, does it matter wheter accumulator-before()
or accumulator-after()? I assume not because the metadata values do not
change before or after processing a given loop2 element.
If the value doesn't change then it doesn't really matter. Use
accumulator-before() in preference, because the rules are a bit more liberal
about exactly where it can be used.
Second, I have an additional requirement to process metadata that appears at
the end of the document:
For each loop2, I want to copy not the values but the whole XML tree of
document-end-metadata. Currently I am achieving this by doing two streams.
a) go through the document and gather the document-end-metadata subtree to
be put into a variable b) process the loop2 elements and add a copy of the
variable into the loop2 specific output.
Since this requirement means copying a sub tree and not values, I assume
there is no way to achieve this with accumulators or xsl:iterate, or other
approaches?
Yes, I think a two-pass approach is the only way around that.
