Michael, using Saxon 8.1.1, consider the following query: declare function local:test() {<e>{attribute {'a'}{'b'}}{attribute {'c'}{'d'}}</e>}; local:test() It results in: XT0420: Attribute nodes must be created before the children of an element node In case it helps, removing the user defined function or combining both enclosed expressions in a single one seem to resolve the issue. Thanks, Marc
