AW: Value of <id> element not returned

Hi,

I too tested it with Saxon 8.3 and everything works fine as reported before.
Since I was curious I tried it with the built-in XSLT engine of Altova XMLSpy
2005 SP2 Professional Edition and
it too produces the expected result.
Therefore I think it is a problem just related to the restricted Home
Edition.

Result for Altova XSLT engine:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
	<countMethod>
		<Name>1, Frisby, 48392</Name>
		<Name>10, Backstayge, 02718</Name>
		<Name>2, Attired, 00218</Name>
		<Name>300, McGoon, 27318</Name>
		<Name>31, Reckonwith, 02930</Name>
	</countMethod>
</root>

wbr,
Roman
