FYi, just for completeness - I did output some of the system.properties when
the XSLT was run on the product, and I got this:
xsl:versionB  - 1xsl:vendor - Apache Software Foundationxsl:vendor-url -
http://xml.apache.org/xalan-c

So the product IS using XALAN-c

Also, now that I think I/we've gotten past the existence of the node-set()
function, I am going to start trying to implement/test the chaining, so I
think it'd be better to start a new thread for that.

Thanks everyone for the help thus far!!
Jim

  Liam,
I think I had a "brain spasm" and, for the "test" I was comparing to '' (2
single quotes), instead of just using the boolean returned by the
function-available() :)....., which actually looks like it worked ;) !!B  But
I've changed it now to just use the boolean returned for sanity's sake.B 
Thanks, nice catch !!!

so, when exslt:node-set() is available you prodice a message saying
node-set is NOT available, which may be a little confusing

this will happen when exslt:node-set is not available, of course.

Hope this helps,
