| How come? I must be misreading the specification.

Because all options have to be declared and the declaration for p:xslt
is:

<p:declare-step type="p:xslt">
  <p:input port="source" sequence="no"/>
  <p:input port="transform" sequence="no"/>
  <p:output port="result" sequence="no"/>
  <p:parameter name="*"/>
</p:declare-step>

There are no options there.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
