Which confirms that it is better to ask than to try guessing...

See a reply to your previous one-sentence post for detailed information.

As for this specific example, it ran successfully with Saxon 7.x in
June 2003. Many things changed since then, so your question is out of
synch. In particular:

 1. The Saxon's namespace-uri was changed

 2. saxon:node-set() is no longer supported in XSLT 2.0

However, EXSLT is supported (in Saxon 8.0).

Change line 3 from:

      xmlns:saxon="http://icl.com/saxon"

to:

      xmlns:saxon="http://exslt.org/common"

then the transformation runs successfully with

Saxon 8.0 from Saxonica
Java version 1.4.2_04



If more explanations are needed, please, contact me off-list and I'd
be happy to assist.
