Thanks so much for your hint! This is exactly what I was trying to do 
before, but I just used the xsl:value-of element without the 
msxsl:node-set() function. As I have to document this in my thesis, I would 
like to know if all xsl processors have similar functions? For example, 
what about the xsl processor used in xmlspy? Or Xalan?

Thanks again,

Adrian Grigore
