Here the variable EDITPROP is a reference to the nodeset matching the XPath
expression in the select (EDITPROPS).

Here nodEdit is not a nodeset, but a tree fragment. That is, the parameter
is the bit of a tree between the end of the <xsl:variable> and the start of
the </xsl:variable>

You can't do tree operations on a result fragment. What you want is to
actually pass the nodeset into the template. To do that, change the
with-param to 

<xsl:with-param name="nodEdit" select="$EDITPROP" />

Now, the parameter type in the template is the type of the expression
"$EDITPROP", which presumably is a nodeset.

Cheers,
Dave.
