Don,
In addition to using an extension function to cast the result tree fragment into a node set, another solution is also sometimes possible, since while RTFs can't be interrogated as node-sets, they can be processed as strings.
So if you built your variable like this:
you could simply test "not(contains($confirm_active_program,'true'))" and that would work.
Of course this doesn't scale to more complex situations, but it's good enough for many simple ones.

I know the real answer to my question is to move to XSLT 2.0, but for the sake of workplace harmony I'm making other efforts as well.
Using XSLT 1.0 and MSXML I've run into the limitation of an improper use of a result tree fragment. I'm creating a variable, "confirm_active_program" that contains some number of <program> elements like so:
<program active="true"/> <program active="false"/>
I then have a choose statement which contains a when test:
<xsl:when test="not($confirm_active_program/program[@active = 'true'])">...</xsl:when>
The only error I'm getting is that the expression requires a node-set. Going back and reading on RTFs in 1.0 I realize this isn't going to work. Is there any other way to accomplish my desired effect in 1.0?
Thanks,
Don
