 As I understand it, what I'm doing here is constructing an RTF and then asking for its string-length. Won't the string length of a result tree fragment be the length of its value (i.e. the whole thing)? Admittedly, when RTFs go away (in XSLT 2) I'd have to wrap the copied nodes in a wrapper in order to get the desired behavior; but won't this work in XSLT 1.0? Any clarification you can shed on this would be appreciated. Thanks!
