I have added the EXSLT node-set function to my stylesheet by the declaring
the namespace as an extension, as indicated below, and by adding the module
stylesheet. 

However, when I attempt to perform a transformation, I get what appear to be
release notes or a README type document. How can I actually view the results
of the transformation?

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:exsl="http://exslt.org/exsl" version="1.1"
extension-element-prefixes="exsl" exsl:doc="http://www.exslt.org/exsl">

Maria,

You wrote

Yes: check the Xalan documentation on extension functions.

Also look at
http://www.exslt.org/exsl/functions/node-set/index.html

where you will learn that Xalan-J supports the EXSLT syntax for node-set()
(which makes it more portable).

Cheers,
Wendell
