Subject: [xsl] XPath2.0: Attribute ordering along an ancestor axis From: "Lumley, John" <john.lumley@xxxxxx> Date: Fri, 24 Nov 2006 12:53:49 -0000 |
I'm fully aware that attributes along the attribute:: axis are unordered, but is there any partial ordering when they're being collected off elements discovered along the ancestor:: axis? We're basically looking at the XPath expression: ancestor-or-self::*/@foo and have some inconsistency in the order the (foo) attribute nodes are being returned. In our case this could be related to differing XML tree representations we're using or a bug in the implementation, but first I wanted to check opinion on whether there *should* be any consistency in the order of the return, that is ordered by distance from the context node,or its reverse. I can't easily determine this from the spec. John Lumley Hewlett-Packard Laboratories Bristol
