Re: parse-xml-fragment() Fails in Saxon 9.5 but not in 9.8

The Saxon 9.5 documentation includes the parse-xml() and parse-xml-fragment() functions as supported--9.5 was an early implementation of the not-yet-complete XSLT 3 spec. So it's not surprising that there might be bugs in the implementation in that version. It's long been superceded of course, but due to circumstances way beyond my control, I am stuck with Saxon 9.5 for this project.

To be honest I hadn't taken the time to fully understand what David was suggesting. I can try that.

Cheers,

E.

    I am kind of surprised 9.5 supports parse-xml or parse-xml-fragment and
    I am not sure where the error comes from.

    Does David's suggestion the XSL list to not use the
    saxon:parse-pseudo-attribute function but instead throw the value of the
    pi as the attribute part of an on the fly constructed element tag with
       parse-xml(parse-xml(concat('&lt;x ',.,'/&gt;'))/x/@content)
    perhaps work better?
