That test should return false (and saxon and msxsl do the right thing) SomeNode!='' see the XPath spec: SomeNode!='' s true if and only if there is a node in the node set selected by SomeNode such that that node has string vale != ''. If the node set is empty clearly there is no node in the set with this propoerty so the test is false.
