Re: accessing last element of node set passed as param

Thanks Joerg.  I had come up with my solution borrowing from a response from Michael Kay to a question I had about recursively building up a nodeset.  Following is Michael's code:

    <xsl:template name="build">
      <xsl:param name="n"/>
      <xsl:param name="tree"/>
      <xsl:call-template name="build">
         <xsl:with-param name="n" select="$n+1"/>
         <xsl:with-param name="tree">
           <xsl:copy-of select="$tree"/>
           <a i="{$n}"/>
         </xsl:with-param>
      </xsl:call-template>
    </xsl:template>

I had assumed it was building a nodeset ... but obviously (except to me) not.
