RE: copy-of, variables, and parameters


Section 11.3 is badly placed and badly titled. If you look back at earlier
drafts, xsl:copy-of at one time only worked with result tree fragments, and
result tree fragments could (still can) only be referenced as a variable
reference. Subsequently xsl:copy-of was generalised but its place in the
spec remained.
