These are equivalent only if the first ROWSET contains a ROW and that ROW
contains a child element: which is probably true in your case.

Any respectable processor (well, Saxon, anyway), will not search the whole
document while evaluating select="(ROWSET/ROW/*)[1]": it will stop when it
finds the first one.
