In response to shennessy@xxxxxxxxxx:

In your code where you say: "WHAT JADE DOES NOT LIKE..
  (if ( string? ( (attribute-string "ID" ......."
note that  (attribute-string ...) returns a string, say "string-val", then the extra ( before it means
that Jade sees ("string-val"), which tries to call the function "string-val", which is a
"non-function object".

In DSSSL there is a difference between ((a)) and (a).
