RE: [xsl] document function support needed

["Michael Kay" <mhk@xxxxxxxxx>]

I suggest you start again from the beginning. Create two simple source
documents and a simple stylesheet, tell us what answer you expected to
get and what answer you actually got, and what processor you are using.
Then we might start to understand your problem. Sending us versions of
the stylesheet that don't match the source documents isn't helping
anyone.

You said it was urgent. That's always a dangerous sign - it suggests
you're getting flustered. Take your time over it, and you'll get there
quicker.
