FWIW, I also hit the select="" problem using Saxon and did the same
thing to work around it. Your docs were useful (I was passing in the
template param on the command line). Perhaps the select="" thing only
shows up in the snapshot builds and so you don't see it on your dev box?


Btw., thank you very much for your work in creating these xsls and for
making them available and maintaining them. They should be very useful
for many people.

Thanks,
