The error you are getting at this line, <xsl:with-param name="attribute" select="$validAttributeType/@base"/> is because the variable "validAttributeType" is a result tree fragment (it's a special data type defined in XSLT 1.0), and you are trying to apply an XPath operation to it; which is not correct. To my opinion, you need to use an extension function node-set for this (if you are restricted to XSLT 1.0). So for example, something like following will work: <xsl:with-param name="attribute" select="xx:node-set($validAttributeType)/xsd:restriction/@base"/> (please bind the prefix xx to the required namespace - please see the product documentation for this) With XSLT 2.0, you will not get the error at all, for the operation you are trying to do (because XSLT 2.0 implicitly treats the contents of xsl:variable in this case as a node-set).
