Re: obtaining tree fragments from node-set value

<xsl:variable name="x"
select="MainClass/SubClass/Value[contains(.,'ParentValue')]"/>

..
<xsl:when test="$x"/>
  ref: <xsl:value-of select="@ref/> 
 text: <xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:when>

  I need the present <xsl:when> statement to stay in this form. I know the 
  result is a node-set but what I really want is the ability to access 
  other fragments of the tree to which the node-set  belongs, possibly 
  through position() or something. Im not sure how.

I don't know what you mean here. the XPath expressions select node sets
but value-of always returns the string value of one node (ignoring all
but the first node in document order)
