RE: [xsl] xsl::number from current note

["Michael Kay" <mhk@xxxxxxxxx>]

The from attribute must be an XSLT pattern (not an XPath expression), and
"." is not a legal pattern.

I haven't come across any plausible reason why anyone would want to use the
"from" attribute of xsl:number with level="single". What are you trying to
achieve?
