Re: How to xsl:apply-templates while xsl:copy-of?

Hi Alain,
   The reason, why xsl:for-each select="$value" is working with
XMLSpy, is because XMLSpy is using a XSLT 2.0 engine, which treats
$value as a node-set.

Whereas, $value if a RTF (result tree fragment) in XSLT 1.0. An
expression, select="$value" will give an error, as you just found,
with XSLT 1.0.

To make this work with Xalan-J, you need to use the xx:node-set
extension function. Please refer,
http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/extensionslib.html#exslt for more
information in this regard.

So you would need to do something, like:
xx:node-set($value)

or perhaps,
xx:node-set($value)/*

xx:node-set($value) behaves similar to, a 2.0 $value
