You can create a copy of the nodes and return that as a RTF. > More importantly, how do I assign a variable to this new subset? > So: > > <xsl:variable name="some_subset" select="get_subset_xml"/> > > where $some_suset is: > <B> > <ASDF/> > <QWEA/> > <FEASI/> > </B> <xsl:variable name="some_subset" select="/A/descendant::*"/> but it's more than likely you want <xsl:variable name="some_subset" select="/A/B"/> as the former the variable is bound to a set of nodes B, ASDF, QWEA, and FEASI, whereas in the latter it's bound to just the B node and you can access the child nodes by normal tree navigation.
