Duh. I should have seen that coming. I'd forgotten I *wasn't* retrieving the key value via the select attribute of xsl-variable. Grrr.

In other words, subelements in $content do get transformed correctly.

Unfortunately the downloads from http://www.exslt.org/download.html don't actually contain the required file, exsl.node-set.xsl (it's not in either exsl.zip nor all-exslt.zip Does anyone know where it is available from? ///Peter XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
