Yes, there were a lot of confusion between "template" and "template rule". So XSLT 2.0 replaced "template" by "sequence constructor". But in your initial sentence above, I guess you meant "template rule", isn't it ?-) > I suppose this is also not the case in XSLT 2.0? Mmh, I'm not sure what you mean here? A simple example for for-each vs/ apply-templates in XSLT 2.0. It is not "right" (for one definition of "right") to write: <xsl:function name="my:f"> <xsl:param name="p" as="item()+"/> <xsl:apply-templates select="$p"/> </xsl:function> Write instead: <xsl:function name="my:f"> <xsl:param name="p" as="item()+"/> <xsl:for-each select="$p"> ... </xsl:for-each> </xsl:function> or: <xsl:function name="my:f"> <xsl:param name="p" as="node()+"/> <xsl:apply-templates select="$p"/> </xsl:function> or even: <xsl:function name="my:f"> <xsl:param name="p" as="item()+"/> <xsl:sequence select="for $i in $p return ..."/> </xsl:function> But I agree for-each is often over-employed, instead of template rules.
