Hi Craig, The problem may be that you have a template that matches / and that will be invoked a second time when processing $myActionSet. Your attempt at putting doc('b&')//actionSet[b&] in a variable will probably have the effect that the variable contents will be wrapped in a document node and this will then be processed by the template that matches /, too. <xsl:variable name="myActionSet" select="doc('b&')//actionSet"/> is tantamount to: <xsl:variable name="myActionSet" as="documentnode(element(actionSet))"> <xsl:document> <xsl:sequence select="doc('b&')//actionSet"/> <xsl:document> </xsl:variable> and there you have the document node that your / template matches when you process $myActionSet. Just check it by outputting $myActionSet/*/name() b actionSet and $myActionSet/name() b (empty sequence). So better declare myActionSet as="element(actionSet)" in first place (itbs always good practice to use the as="b&" attribute) or alternatively, if it is the document node, use apply-templates select="$myActionSet/actionSet".
