XSLT and XPath questions would be better posted to the following list:

   http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list

There are a number of subscribers who would enthusiastically respond to 
such questions.

There is also an *excellent* FAQ at:

Unfortunately your posted examples weren't complete ... some missing 
attribute set declarations, though this isn't directly relevant to your 
post.  But be sure, though, to clear up *all* compile-time problems or you 
won't see any changes in your result.

What do you mean by "literal"?

Right ... it is incorrect use of XSLT for your expected result.

Your problem is at the end of here with the result-tree-fragment variable 
you are declaring and then using:

You want <xsl:copy-of select="$row-value"/> to get the structure.  By using 
<xsl:value-of> you are only adding the string value of the variable to the 
result tree.

Note also you probably want an exclude-result-prefixes="prb" to clean up 
the output.

I hope this helps.
