You have to define whether two calls of the same function return the same tree or different trees. I guess one could say that it's explicitly implementation-defined, and no-one would worry too much about it. But it's also something you want to avoid if at all possible because constructing new trees is always expensive. Mike Kay XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
