Peter,
I hope we're not just repeating things over the back fence, but.... At 09:36 AM 6/12/2002, you wrote: > That would be so, except the generate-id() function has already filtered > out all but the first of the nodes returned by the key() function.... it > only operates on the first node in the set, when its argument is a node set > (since it returns a string, it has to pick one node and that's the one it > picks). It's not the key() function that's reducing it to a single node, it's the generate-id() function you are running on the nodes returned by key(). As in: "The generate-id function returns a string that uniquely identifies the node in the argument node-set that is first in document order." [XSLT 12.4] No ambiguity there. Beyond this, I think Tom S. explained it. But I'm confused not having the examples in front of me. Would you be able to snip them out (again) and recapitulate the question if I'm not getting what you're asking? Cheers, Wendell
