I don't think it will do much good to change how I iterate through the variable, because the error occurs on the assignment to the variable, which is before the "for-each".

I also already tried changing your script to call "node-set" on the return value.

I changed this in your original script:

      <xsl:otherwise>
        <xsl:value-of select="$str"/>
      </xsl:otherwise>

to:

      <xsl:otherwise>
        <xsl:value-of select="xalan:nodeset($str)"/>
      </xsl:otherwise>

I made sure to add the namespace in the stylesheet attributes.  When I did this, it didn't fix the problem.  It didn't even change the error message.
