[xsl] how to "save" a context?

[S Woodside <sbwoodside@xxxxxxxxx>]

I want to "save" a context, e.g., when I'm in a specific context node, 
I want to be able to serialize the context node such that I can pass 
that serialization as a string or what not, to another XSLT that 
processes the same original XML. Then I could simply 
select="deserialize(myserializedString)" and jump to the same node. 
Assuming the XML hasn't changed.

I read the spec and the FAQ... doesn't seem to be an easy way to do 
this.

FWIW, the string has to go through an HTML forms client/server 
roundtrip, it will be stored as a parameter in an HTML form, then when 
they submit, the string will be used to access a subtree of the 
original XML to expand that subtree and make new HTML forms for the 
subtree.
