Difference between Saxon 8.7.3 and 6.5.5

This is probably not all that important, but I found got different output when running this transform with Saxon 8.7.3 than with Saxon 6.5.5. Saxon 8 output "test" and Saxon 6 output nothing. I think Saxon 6 is doing the right thing because a default template for mode="test" processed the "/" node and it should not capture the test param and pass it on. It seems like in Saxon 8 the default template that processes "/" is passing on any params it sees to its children which doesn't seem to be correct. Dan <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:apply-templates select="document('')" mode="test"> <xsl:with-param name="test" select="'test'"/> </xsl:apply-templates> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="*" mode="test"> <xsl:param name="test"/> <xsl:value-of select="$test"/> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet>

This is a change in the language specification between XSLT 1.0 and XSLT 2.0. Saxon 6.x is doing what XSLT 1.0 says, Saxon 8.x is doing what XSLT 2.0 says. See list item 4 under http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#incompatibility-without-schema Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/
