My apologies. I saw your question, but then responding slipped my mind.
Your example uses an extension function. Would it be possible for you to
use an extension element instead? It would seem more natural to want to
get the element and its children in that context than in the context of an
extension function.
John Gentilin has posted some utility functions [1,2] that help with
accessing and evaluating the children and attributes of an extension
element.
I hope that helps.
Thanks,
Henry
