On the other hand, one might also have: <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:saxon="http://saxon.sf.net/" version="2.0" extension-element-prefixes="saxon"> <xsl:variable name="document" select="/" saxon:assignable="yes"/> <xsl:variable name="processes">

</xsl:template></xsl:stylesheet> I've used this or the equivalent in a number of projects (sometimes the $processes variable is declared in a different module, calling this in, which makes it somewhat easier to deploy). Some of its refinements (such as using saxon:assign in order to manage the memory footprint) are at the kind suggestion of Sam Wilmott.
