build node-set variable from result tree fragment using

Question

Is it possible to create a node-set variable from an rtf using xsl:choose (for use in MSXML engine)?

I have the following construct:

<         


        

Answer 1

Just for the record, I add the final solution below. It is slightly different from what Michael proposed, adding a copy of the RTF to a variable before applying the template.
This is because otherwise MSXML still errors during xsl parsing (apparently it checks the apply-templates select value and concludes it is not correct when it is an RTF instead of a node-set. And, as Michael said, xsl:variable select attribute does just that: converting an RTF to a node-set.
