Re: [xsl] passing a sequence as a parameter

["Colin Adams" <colinpauladams@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Whether or not you can pass a sequence depends upon the processor. You
can do this with Gestalt, as it allows you to pass any XPath
expression. But you can't specify the type on the xsl:param with the
as attribute, which is unfortunate.
