Hi Dr. Kay,

Thanks for the clarification on applying predicates to document-nodes in the
previous email!

I think my misunderstanding/misuse of terminology obscured my question. Is
there some value of ??? in

<xsl:variable name="result" as="???">
  ...
</xsl:variable>

that is functionally identical to this:

<xsl:variable name="result">
  ...
</xsl:variable>

In which the variable can hold an arbitrary set of nodes while also providing
contextual sibling relationships between them?

document nodes


As a follow-up question, is there an as="..." expression for an anonymous
document node?

I'm not sure what you mean. All document nodes are anonymous.
