Any help on what I'm > missing would be appreciated. Hi Paul, The "/.." XPath expression is usuallu used to specify a default value for a xsl:param, so that the XSLT processor will know it is of type node-set and will not raise any error message when this xsl:param is used as a node-set. Otherwise, "/.." is a perfectly valid XPath expression and its value is the "empty nodeset". BTW, did you receive the working with XALAN solution to your problem, which I sent to you yesterday? It was not working before, because I was using other XSLT processors, that treated RTFs in a non-conformant way.
