Thank-you Michael.

There appears to be some errors in the stylesheets:

At line 401 in
file://localhost/home/colin/docbook-xsl2-snapshot/common/tab
le.xsl:
Fatal error: ...$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).

I have attempted to utilize the xsl2-snapshot stylesheets as
a drop-in
replacement for both 1.69.1 and xsl-snapshot stylesheets on
my docbook-5.0x
implementations but far too many errors are generated.

Eagerly awaiting a beta version !
