Thank-you Michael.

There appears to be some errors in the stylesheets:

At line 401 in file://localhost/home/colin/docbook-xsl2-snapshot/common/table.xsl:
Fatal error: http://www.w3.org/2005/xqt-errors#XPST0017: XPath syntax error on line 401 in %G￿%@...$attr) /@*[node-name() = $a%G￿%@:
    Unknown function (or wrong number of arguments to function): node-name


I have checked the specification, and it shows:

fn:node-name($arg as node()?) as xs:QName?

So node-name() is wrong - it should be node-name(.)

I see from the source code of Saxon 8.6.1 that it is supplying the
context item as a hidden default argument. This appears to be a bug in
Saxon as I read the specification (CR 03/11/2005).
