Re: [xsl] xsl:variable and node list

[David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx>]

don't do that:

<xsl:variable name="withname">
     <xsl:copy-of
select="tblMIMCompanies[contains(translate(@name,$upperCase,$lowerCase),tran
slate($name,$upperCase,$lowerCase))'true']"/>
</xsl:variable>

which makes a result tree fragment not a node list (and is expensive as
it really has to copy all the nodes)

do

<xsl:variable name="withname"
select="tblMIMCompanies[contains(translate(@name,$upperCase,$lowerCase),tran
slate($name,$upperCase,$lowerCase))'true']"/>


which makes a node set is less to type and a lot less expensive to
execute.
