(I assume that this template is actually matching 'artist' elements
rather than 'artists' elements.)

I tried this with Saxon, MSXML3 and MSXML4 and it gave me the output
that I expected, namely:

Commandos       commandos.jpg   Everybody's Way 2003-07-03

You haven't told us much but the problem that you're having sounds
suspiciously similar to the problem that Allistair Crossley reported
recently (and that we weren't able to track down).

Can you fill us in on some more details: what processor you're using,
how you're invoking it, what the rest of your stylesheet looks like,
and what output you actually get.

Thanks,

Jeni
