Ah, clever! (I have a lot to learn ...)

Thank you: I can now get the text content of all the selected XML 
records dumped out as a long unformatted string, using <xf:output 
ref="Object/ItemList">.

I see I can use the value attribute on <xf:output> to evaluate a single 
XPath expression, but is there a way of iterating over the nodeset of 
selected Object elements and just outputting selected elements, ideally 
with some formatting?

Thanks,

Richard
