oh, yes, it works great. i felt afraid, when i saw jeni's example,
even more, when i wasn't able to run it in my xalan just as it
was written ;-) -- yep, i'm a lamer :-). but references looks
promising. 

a question -- is there any chance to put text inside
call-template as it is possible with apply-templates?
or better, use call-template inside call-template?
e.g. 
<xsl:call-template name="a">
   <xsl:with-param name="var" select="@some_value"/>
   <xsl:call-template name="b">
      <xsl:with-param name="var" select="@some_value"/>
   </xsl:call-template>
</xsl:call-template>

and tell the truth -- why all of you are using such terrifing
language as xslt is? <grin/> don't templates and xml parsers in
java or even some tree-structured objects are much better,
faster, simpler and flexible? :-)
