I'm afraid it does not fix the following messages.  Here is the current 
error output:

runbib -d refs_computing -S Eur.J.Pharmacol. -t db31x basic-doc.xml

Transformation failed: Failed to compile stylesheet. 36 errors detected.

The situations it reports are accurate.  The template starting at line 
1821 _is_ the only template where <xsl:choose> appears in a different 
location to all the others.  It also appears to be the only template 
where xsl:withparam _is_ a direct child of xsl:when.

A representative snippet of the "non-erroring" templates:

<xsl:template match="bibliomset[@relation='seditor']" mode="refdb">
  <xsl:variable name="reftype" select="ancestor::bibliomixed/@role"/>
      <xsl:choose>                        <--- **
        <xsl:when test="$reftype='ABST'">
          <xsl:call-template name="refdb-process-inline">      <--**
            <xsl:with-param name="style" select="$ABSTSEDITORLISTSTYLE"/>
          </xsl:call-template>
        </xsl:when>

The "erroring" template:

  <xsl:template match="ulink" mode="refdb">
    <xsl:variable name="reftype" select="ancestor::bibliomixed/@role"/>
      <xsl:variable name="target" select="@url"/>
      <a href='#{$target}'>
      <xsl:call-template name="refdb-literal">
        <xsl:choose>                            <--**
          <xsl:when test="$reftype='ABST'">
            <xsl:with-param name="style" select="$ABSTURLSTYLE"/>     <--**
          </xsl:when>

What Saxon is saying about this part of the stylesheet is certainly 
true.  I don't know enough about xsl to know whether this stylesheet is 
strictly legal.  If this xsl is strictly legal and Saxon is mistakenly 
choking on it, then I'll need to raise this issue on the Saxon forums.  
It is, however, possible that Saxon is picking up malformed xsl that 
xsltproc is happy to live with.  In that case, this stylesheet needs to 
be corrected.

Without knowing anything about xsl, I attempted to use xslint to check 
the offending stylesheet.  It output a vast number of cryptic error 
messages and I quickly abandoned that line of inquiry.  Of course, I may 
have invoked it incorrectly or something.  It will require someone with 
more xsl knowledge than I currently possess to decide on this 
styleheet's correctness.

David.
