Probably this doesn't work for Gunter because he is not using the namespace
http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform.

I'm sure there are more elegant solutions but try this:
Given XML
---------------
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<thing>
<amount>7</amount>
<price>2.50</price>
</thing>
stylesheet
---------------
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:transform xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="text"/>
<xsl:template match="thing">
<xsl:value-of select="./amount * ./price"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>
bash$ saxon thing.xml thing.xsl
