One last glitch and I"m there. All xhtml markup is being

This is driving me crazy. I'm still hung on the same problem. 
Can someone please help? Here's the nub of it:

<xsl:template match="page">
<xsl:variable name="body">
#parse("vel/macros.vel")
#taskOpening("@ident")
<xsl:apply-templates select="*"/>
#taskClosing("@ident")
</xsl:variable>
PageText{<xsl:value-of select="$body"/>}
<xsl:value-of select="task:addPage($task, @ident, $body)" />
</xsl:template>
I've confirmed that the $body variable within the addPage 
routine contains only text minus markup. In particular, for

<task ident="HelloWorld">
        <page ident="LoremIpsem">
                <p>Foo</p>
        </page>
</task>
I'm seeing CopyOf{Foo} in the output when I should be seeing 
<p>CopyOf(<p>Foo</p>)</p>. It appears that markup is deleted 
when the results are saved in a variable. If I add a 
<xsl:apply-templates select="*"/> outside of the variable 
assignment in the above, the output contains markup as expected.

Here is the whole stylesheet.
