Yes, I'm using the Saxon extension function to get the value of the @content
pseudo-attribute.

What I didn't realize was that parse-xml and parse-xml-fragment() will handle
the string as it comes, so this works:

<xsl:variable name="rawMarkup"
select="saxon:get-pseudo-attribute('content')/>
<xsl:variable name="deletedContent" as="element()">
  <deletedContent xmlns="">
   <xsl:sequence select="parse-xml-fragment($rawMarkup)/>
  </deletedContent>
</xsl:variable>

So it's all good.

Cheers,

E.

    I think Saxon PE and EE have an extension function to access the pseudo
    attributes of a processing instruction value.

    So inside of oXygen with Saxon PE or EE this should be easz.
