apply-templates with-param bug ??

[John Gentilin <ge...@eyecatching.com>]

I am using a variable that holds complex data in my stylesheet.
To reduce the number of times I call xalan:nodeset() on the variable,
I pass the resultant variable as a parameter from template to template.
This works fine in a call-template but when used in a apply-templates,
the variable looks like it is converted into a value instead of a
nodeset.

Is this a bug ??
