Re: Problem with Saxon 7.9.1 xsl:variable and selectin

<xsl:variable name="thissection" >
     <xsl:choose>
         <xsl:when test="../myns:section">
             <xsl:sequence select="../myns:section"/>
         </xsl:when>
         <xsl:when test="../../myns:section">
             <xsl:sequence select="../../myns:section"/>
         </xsl:when>
     </xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>

It looks like you want the nearest myns:section ancestor, so:

	<xsl:template match="myns:content" mode="content">
            <mysection origSectionId="{ancestor::myns:section[1]/myns:id}"/>
