Hi Jeni, > Then shouldn't you change xsl:param and xsl:variable to fx:param and > fx:variable? Aren't those elements being instantiated to get the > behaviour you want from them? Yes, maybe I'd have to put them in another namespace. More important: I should clarify that the content model (xsl:param*; xsl:variable*, #PCDATA) doesn't constitute a template. Whether I'd have to put the variable-binding elements in a new namespace depends on whether you count them as instructions or not. The XSLT spec isn't fully clear on this point as I see it. If I count them as instructions I must clarify that the result of instantiating them, which is always empty, is not added to any RTF (there isn't one to add them to). Or I could just change the namespace. If I don't count them as instructions, it would be enough to specify their scoping rules. In any way, it has to be clarified. > I think I don't understand the technicalities of the term > 'instantiation'.

By instantiation I mean 'running' XSLT instructions and getting an RTF as the result. > I think I'm going to change exsl:return to exsl:result for the next > draft, as discussed with Uche, so what about this instead: [ snip (new processing model described) ] Still I don't see how the value of the exsl:result can propagate out of the XSLT instructions without you redefining the processing model. You cannot store it in the RTF without changing the definition of RTFs, so it has to take some kind escape route out of the instructions. Again this can of course be implemented, it just seems unnatural and non-XSLT-ish.
