You can't (in XSLT 1.0) apply templates to result tree fragments.
MSXML now enforces this, and like most other XSLT processors provides a
nodeset extension function to turn the result tree fragment into a node
set.

so something like select="msxml:nodeset($somedata)"

where msxml is the ms extension namespace (whatever that is, i don't
have the docs here)
