What processor are you using? I would personally recommend Saxon which
implements the exslt node-set() function built into the architecture. But every
other major processor either implements all or portions of the exslt functions
or variations there of, which, other than namespace and syntax of the function
names, perform the needed functionality you are looking for. This is not to
suggest that the templates available at exslt.org are of no use... many of them
will serve your needs quite well. But the node-set() function can not be
implemented using an XSLT template. But it's the hard work and efforts of the
exslt group that helped convince many of the processor vendors to build the
outlined functionality directly into the processors themselves. By looking at
the documentation that came with your processor you are more than likely to find
exact details that outline how to implement that processors implementation of
the node-set() function.
An example using Saxon:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:exsl="http://exslt.org/common"
extension-element-prefixes="exsl">
and then implement it in your stylesheet by using the namespace:function
combination:
<xsl:variable name="foo">
...logic to build temporary tree
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:apply-templates select="exsl:node-set($foo)"/>
Best of luck!

hallo,
I make something wrong! I want to use the exsl:node-set() function but at
www.exsl.org there is no download of the exsl.node-set.xsl stylesheet. But
in the main download there are two stylesheets: exsl.node-set.1.xsl and
exsl.node-set.2.xsl, but this not works.
