Ah, yes, of course. As usual, I stopped reading too early.

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

Well, if u want something more compact (why?)?

for $t in $pList return f:apply ($pFun, $t)

:-)

Still not compact enough?

How about:

f:apply-2 ($pFun, $pList)

:-) :-)

<xsl:function name="f:apply-2">
   <xsl:param name="pFunc" as="element()"/>
   <xsl:param name="arg1"/>

        <xsl:sequence select="for $t in $arg1 return f:apply ($pFun, $t)" />
</xsl:function>


Still not compact enough?

How about:

f:a ($pFun, $pList)

:-) :-) :-)

I don't understand the compactness requirement.
