No to use an xsl:choose you must have used xsl:variable with xsl:choose
as content rather than a select expression. Such an xsl:variable never
generates a node set in xslt1: it generates a result tree fragment (which
would generate an error if passed to generate-id, or any other function
expecting a node set).

No, it returned a node set, and sets do not have an order (that's why
they are called sets not lists or sequences)
