That seems to be no better than <xsl:for-each select="1 to array:size($array)"> <xsl:variable name="member" select="$array(.)"/> which you can do today, and which seems a rather clumsy solution to me. Surely iteratiing over the members of an array can be expressed more declaratively than this? Michael Kay Saxonica > On 9 Jan 2021, at 21:15, Liam R. E.
