Michael, With Saxon 8.5, consider the following query: let $a1 := attribute a1 { "a1" } let $a2 := attribute a2 { "a2" } return <e>{ $a1 }{ $a2 }</e> It returns as expected: <e a1="a1" a2="a2"/> Adding an additional let-clause: let $a1 := attribute a1 { "a1" } let $a2 := attribute a2 { "a2" } let $e := <e>{ $a1 }{ $a2 }</e> return $e Results in an error: XQTY0024: An attribute node (a2) cannot be created after the children of the containing element. Thanks, Marc
