Hi,

I think this should be asked on xalan-j-user@zml.apache.org
(XSLT questions) - there is far more people to ask..

I don't know it exactly, but I have had similar problem and this is what I
think:

for-each takes a 'node-set-expression' in atribute 'select', and it does it
in one step -- so one and only thing is that '$location' is transformed into
the parameter value ('/selection/data/stuff', in this case).
There is an extending function node-set() (or similar, look at the spec.) in
Xalan2. So:

>   <xsl:for-each select="node-set($location)">
>     <!-- some content -->
>
>   </xsl:for-each>

will return a node-set for your expression.

It worked for me (but it was a time ago), so please check for details for
yourself. I hope this will help you.

Bye,

Roman
