Processing rowsets of multiple queries

Hi,

I am writing a browser popup displaying results of multiple queries,
sort of a DB report using Cocoon 2.0.4 [XSL 1.0]

I am receiving correct XML output from SQLTransformer
(see below).

Now need XSLT page to work.

It seems that correct form to pick up a rowset in XSL is:
<xsl:variable name='custdata'
select="/page/content/sql:rowset[@sql:name='query1']"/>,
should have rows/columns under that.

The query returns 1 row (that's OK).
But for whatever reason I can't get to the row, to show the
values on the screen:
<xsl:for-each select='$custdata'>  <-- expect to pass $custdata/row
  <xsl:call-template name='row1'>
    <xsl:with-param name='therow' select='.'/>x
  </xsl:call-template>
</xsl:for-each>

<xsl:template name="row1">
  <xsl:param name='therow'/>
<tr>
  <td>data=<xsl:value-of select='$therow'/></td> <--- can see the whole row
  <td align="left" valign="middle"><xsl:value-of
select='$therow/col1'/></td>                             <--- can't
see the column
</tr>
</xsl:template>

What am I doing wrong ?
(probably some silly XSL bug in my code :-(  )
Sorry for the newbie question.

Thank you,
Oleg.
