Re: formatting xml output: inserting newlines between

I just looked up the node-set() extension function for msxml3...
so if I have a variable:
<xsl:variable name="tree">
 <form name="form1">
   <control name="control1"/>
 </form>
 <form name="form2>
   <control name="control1"/>
   <control name="control2"/>
 </form>
</xsl:variable>

I can use all the normal retrieval and counting mechanisms that I use on the source document?
- like: <xsl:apply-templates select="node-set($tree)/form[@name='form1']/control"/>
?

I have been reluctant to use extension functions b/c I didn't want to base my design on things that are vendor dependant and that could possibly not be there even for the same vendor in the next release.

Cheers,
Wendell
