<xsl:template match="test1">
  <xsl:variable name="var1">
    <xsl:call-template name="foo"/>   <!-- output copied properly -->
    <xsl:value-of select="test2"/>    <!-- output copied properly -->
    <xsl:apply-templates/>            <!-- has no effect !!????   -->
  </xsl:variable>
  <xsl:call-template name="fontstyle">
    <xsl:with-param name="param1" select="$var1"/>
  </xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="fontstyle">
  <xsl:param name="param1"/>
  <B><xsl:copy-of select="$param1"/></B>
</xsl:template>
