FW: [xslt] Passing xml expressions as parameters.

["Bob Stobie" <bstobie axsone com>]

To put it another way, consider the following transform on the same data:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0"
 xmlns:exslt="http://exslt.org/common"; extension-element-prefixes="exslt">

  <xsl:param name="maConfig"/>

<xsl:variable name="globalVariable"><lmno>LMNO</lmno></xsl:variable>

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:copy-of select="." />
    <xsl:value-of select="exslt:node-set($maConfig)/abcd" />
    <xsl:value-of select="exslt:node-set($globalVariable)/lmno" />
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

It produces the following output:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<state sequence="0"><info/><action
name="start"/><result><shellArgs/></result><notify/></state>
LMNO

What I would like is for the parameter to be treated the same way as the
global <xsl:variable>

  You are generating XML. That XML has text with <, > in it. As a result the
XML serializer output them as &lt; and &gt;. This has nothing to do with
XSLT it's just the normal XML serialization rules.

  Except changing your stylesheet to disable output escaping of
those fragment in the output, I don't see how to get what you want.
