Hi Peter,

a non-repeatable read, so to say, in XSLT? That sounds curious.

Just to make sure: Does your variable evaluate to a node-set, because it
is constructed using @select, or upgraded from a result tree fragment
(RTF) to a node-set using one of the available conversion functions? You
should get an error if not. On the other hand, I'm not sure in what way
an extension element may  change the rules of the game.
