Subject: RE: Is there a conflict in the definition of node() in XPath and XSLT ? From: Kay Michael <Michael.Kay@xxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 28 Feb 2000 11:58:49 -0000 |
> "A node test node() is true for any node of any type whatsoever." Correct. But note the words "node test". > > "node() matches any node other than an attribute node and the > root node" This is referring to the *pattern* "node()", which is an abbreviation for "child::node()", which matches any node that satisfies the node test "node()" and also is a child of something. Attributes and root nodes are not the child of anything. There is however an error here (which I have pointed out to the editors): the pattern "node()" will not match a namespace node.
