Actually the strategy from XProc I mentioned in my last message specifically covers XPath 1.0, NOT XPath 2.0. So it would be a good fit for XForms 1.1. To make it clearer: XProc says that the context is set to an empty document node. This is not the same as saying it is an empty sequence or an empty node-set: it is a node-set containing a single node, which is a document node without children. -Erik -- Orbeon Forms - Web Forms for the Enterprise Done the Right Way http://www.orbeon.com/
