Warning: on line 291 
The child axis starting at a text
node will never select anything
B 
Example ( A ) found the data but they need
to be at the same time. ie needs to reference <a> relative to <p> for each
iteration. ( B ), ( C) and ( D ) are attempts to lookup <a> relative to <p>
without success.
B 
I did provide the XML input document to this stylesheet
from my last response.
B 
Michael, any suggestion from yourself? You have been
very helpful in the past. Hope there will be some progress soon after so many
correspondences.

Thanks,
B Jack

You are using them though.
Your sample code has
../ns:a/normalize-space()
which is an XPath 2 expression,
It would be a syntax error to have a 
function call in that position in XPath
1.

It is not schmea
aware, but that is not the same as saying it does not 
implement xslt2 the
xslt 2 spec explitly defines two types of processors 
schema aware and basic.
Also (from 9.2 onwards, as a purely commercial 
aspect unrelated to which
language level is implemented the free one 
(now called home edition as you
say) doesn't support extension functions 
to the same extent as the commercial
version (or earlier versions of 
saxon's open source release such as 9.1)
>>B  ( iii ) Believes that a schema/DTD is required by the stylesheet. Not
familiar with how to set it up yet.

How did you get a java
typed value into xpath in the first place? You 
must have been using some
saxon-specifc API.

goes the actual code as best as I could put it:

this version is well formed
9apart from the missing </html> but all the 
team names are inB  a so you just
want <xsl:for-each select="ns:a"> 
again it's hard to gues swhat code you need
given no example input but 
judging by earlier commenst it seems sometimes the
team isn't in a so 
perhaps you want
<xsl:for-each
select="ns:p/text()|ns:p/ns:a">

together with an xsl;strip-space
eleements="*" to get rid of indentation 
space for you. But that is only a
guess, given no input to test it on.
