xalan apply templates with param
 David,
  thanks for this.  Your change works.  I didnt
put the /list on the document() call because
I didnt want to expose the structure of the list to the calling template.  The calling template xsl:includes an xsl template for processing lists.  The idea I wanted to realise here was that I could get lists from other sources with different structures, and as long as I create and include a template for them, the main transform would still work.

So now Im unsure how to proceede.  I still dont understand why the parameter is not set up, even though (it seems) the list root element has been correctly matched.  But when I add the /list to the document() call, the parameter is correctly set up. 

Sorry if this is obvious stuff...im on day 8 of my xslt learning curve.
