Re: XSL Dominos

In reverse order, on the fn: - good point, I'll remove them.

On the apply templates versus call, I've never been able to get my
head round the apply-templates bit, particular because of the need to
use a mode. I personally read apply-templates as, "something happens
here, but I don't know what" !!

Call templates makes it explicit as to what happens. My personal take
on that bit.

On the problem I'm having, I have put in trace output, to push out
$message at each stage.

<foo><bar>hello</bar></foo> and "hello"  both have string value
"hello" but if they were in $message they would need very different paths.
<xsl:message select="$message"/>

selections from $message/ give the value, or don't give the value
depending on whether or not its the compound xsl or the single stage
xsl
