This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
There are use cases where it would be very convenient to apply copy-of() and/or snapshot() to a sequence rather than just a single node. For example <xsl:apply-templates select="copy-of(*)"/> This can be written <xsl:apply-templates select="*!copy-of(.)"/> but this seems clumsy.
The proposal was accepted and has been implemented.
