You can only process the items individually; which I'm afraid makes the

The XProc 3 guys seem to want to use it:
https://spec.xproc.org/master/head/steps/#c.xslt.10 says: "If no value
is supplied for template-name option an “Apply-template invocation” is
performed. The documents that appear on source are taken to be the
initial match selection.".


It seems there you can pass in more than one item (document in the XProc
terminology) on the source port.

Any XProc 3 expert out there that knows whether a stylesheet in an xslt
3 step will need a step doing a wrap or merge/join before the xslt step
to be able to have the xslt step process the whole source port selection
of items together in the XSLT code?
