There's no such a beast -- "node sets - without any additional information". And this is not "internal representation" -- are almost all of the axes "internal representation" or part of the standard XPath? Node-sets contain nodes and every node has some properties that allow to evaluate XPath expressions (like preceding::*) in a meaningful way. Shall we blame XPath for this... ? :o))) Only because these facts do not support some theories? On the other side it is fortunate that XPath is at least as rich and expressive, as it is. Were it not to contain all this "additional information" XSLT programming would be extremely difficult, if possible at all.
