Thank you.  And in case there's still room for misunderstanding: if
"$ThreatXPath is not a result tree fragment, it is a string with an
XPath
expression", is there some way I can rewrite my code to turn
$ThreatXPath into an RTF, so the node-set() I thought I was able to
achieve would work?

Or is the use of the local-name() function the closest I'd ever get?

Thanks again!
Mike
