Looking for a shorter mapping expression

Hi,

Could someone, please, suggest a more compact expression, equivalent
to the value of the "select" attribute below:

      <xsl:sequence select=
       "for $this in $pList1 return
          f:apply($pFun, $this)"
      />

It seems to me that this is illegal:

     $pList1/ f:apply($pFun, .)

because $pList1 in general may contain atomic items (not nodes).


Cheers,
Dimitre.
