Resolving ambiguities when overriding the identity rule (Was: RE: [xsl] Counting nodes efficiently )

[Dimitre Novatchev <dnovatchev@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to Dave Pawson I was alerted that this code raises a recoverable
error (e.g. in Saxon 6.5.3: 

"Recoverable error
Ambiguous rule match for /nums[1]
Matches both "@* | node()" on line 5 of file:/(Untitled)
and "*" on line 26 of file:/(Untitled)")


Maybe I'm limited in some way, but I do hate to use priority (probably
because setting explicit values strongly goes interferes with the
otherwise implicit process of template matching).

This is why here's a cheat:

Replace:

  <xsl:template match="*">

with

  <xsl:template match="*[true()]">


Now everybody must be happy... Or are they?


Cheers,
