It looks as though when you pass in a node list to the stylesheet, it
interprets it as a result tree fragment (as if you'd defined the value
of the parameter in the content of the xsl:param).  To then index into
it, you need to convert that result tree fragment into a node set.
You can do this with xalan:nodeset - have a look at the documentation
at http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/extensionslib.html#nodeset for more
details - something like:

<xsl:variable name="names" select="xalan:nodeset($listofnames)/Name" />

I hope that helps,

Jeni
