The separation of concepts is essential, because the root node can have other children besides the document element, e.g. comments and processing instructions; in fact in a result tree fragment it can also have text nodes and multiple element children. The unnecessary confusion is the inconsistent terminology between the DOM, XML, and XPath specs. Mike Kay XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
