Fair comment. When I first wrote this code I was heavily influenced by the
first edition of Michael Kay's book, and I've held off on changing this
because I was initially nervous about side-effects of changing to an
extension and because I thought that XSLT 2.0 was an imminent reality.
Anyway, I am in the process of changing my code now at last.

Thanks a lot for your help. I've just replied to Michael Kay's message
explaining in more detail what I've done, and hopefully it's sorted.
