RE: [xsl] Benefits of xsl.sequence

[Geert Josten <Geert.Josten@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jesper,

One simple answer is that it allows multi-step processing. You can call
apply-templates and store the result in a variable. The contents of the
variable is reusable in further apply-templates and for-eaches, without the
need to call parser-dependent implementations of node-set functions.

Kind regards,
Geert
