You can pass an object of any type, including node-set, to a template as a
parameter. If passing a node-set, it is usually the case that you pass just
the one element node; you can use XPath expressions to obtain its
descendants
and attributes. 

  <xsl:template match="foo">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="path/to/some/coolNodes">
      <xsl:with-param name="aNodeSet" select="some/foo/descendant"/>
    </xsl:apply-templates>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="coolNodes">
    <xsl:param name="aNodeSet" select="/.."/> <!-- default: empty set -->
    <xsl:text>&#10;number of nodes in aNodeSet: </xsl:text>
    <xsl:value-of select="count($aNodeSet)"/>
    <xsl:text>&#10;number of child elements of all of those nodes:
</xsl:text>
    <xsl:value-of select="count($aNodeSet/*)"/>
  </xsl:template>

Is there a particular problem you are having?
