Sorry, there's not enough information here to see what's going on. For example, it's not clear what the value of the parameter $entity is. Please could you supply a complete source document and stylesheet that demonstrate the problem, plus any necessary details such as parameter values; indicate the expected results and the actual results.

By "complete stylesheet" I mean something that I can debug for myself, either by eye or by copying it into my own processing environment. It's very hard to debug incomplete fragments of code unless the error stares you in the face. Is there any particular reason why you are doing <xsl:with-param name="entity"><xsl:copy-of select="."/></xsl:with-param> rather than <xsl:with-param name="entity" select="."/> ? It seems unnecessary to make a copy. Saxon probably tries to optimize this by creating a "virtual copy" of the node and it's just conceivable this could lead to problems, but without runnable code I can't tell.

I'm in the middle of coding this thing, so the stylesheet is less than optimal (not mentionning that I'm not an expert in XSLT) There are 2 stylesheets: the main one, which imports the second one (lower down) > <xsl:with-param name="entity" select="."/> I actually tried both. ================================================= <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:fn="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions" xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xmlns:nfunc="urn:x-ngwd:function" xmlns:cat="urn:x-ngwd:cat" xmlns:xdoc="http://www.cgcq.rncan.gc.ca/lcnp/xdoc/1.0"> <xsl:import href="std.xslt"/> <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:apply-templates select="cat:Catalog/cat:catalogMember/"/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="cat:Hydrogeologicunit"> <xdoc:document> <xdoc:header> <xdoc:title> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="$locale='fr'">Système Aquifère</xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise>Aquifer System</xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xdoc:title> <!--<xdoc:toc/>--> </xdoc:header><xdoc:body> <xdoc:s1 title="{cat:f_desc}"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="$locale='fr'">La catalogue BDNES possède des informations relatives à ce système aquifère.

I dug further and it looks like the problem was not in saxon, but in the debugging tool I've been using. For some reason, it omitted to output empty tags !. I tested in another environment and the tag shows indeed. All my appologies for not testing all options Thanks for you help Eric
