Actually, because that call is within a xsl:for-each that selects on 
"record," I think I'm actually getting /projects/record/record_id.

In fact, if you'll have a look at the debugging output I put in just before 
the xsl:apply-templates call, you'll see that I'm printing out the value-of 
"record" in the current context.  I do, in fact, get the value of each 
"record_id_" tag here.  And, if I change the code to select nodes from the 
current context as the argument to xsl:apply-templates, the value gets 
passed in correctly in the parameter.

It's only when I change the select to use the document call that the 
parameter fails to pass correctly.
