Re: [xsl] [XSL] weird issue - <xsl:value-of> VS <xsl:sequence> into a recursive call function containing <xsl:analyse-string>

["Tommie Usdin btusdin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In your future postings to XSL-List please leave the bweird issueb out of
the subject line. People often browse the subject lines in the archive and see
only the beginning of the subjects - your question and the discussion it
generates will be more easily found and more valuable in the future if the
subject line JUST describes the subject.

Thanks.
