RE: [xsl] Node list question

["Chris Bayes" <chris at bayes dot co dot uk>]

Matt,
Saxon implements some of the now defunct xslt 1.1 spec which doesn't
differentiate between an rtf and a nodeset. Msxml used to work the same
but lots of people complained that it didn't conform to the 1.0 spec so
they removed it.
To get round the problem you need to use msxml:node-set($MOD_PROD)

Ciao Chris
