Isn't the ...ref() suffix (as in idref(), keyref(), and docref()) somewhat misleading? The XML attribute types ID and IDREF are indeed complimentary in that an IDREF attribute refers to an element with the specified ID attribute. In XSLT however, id() refers to an element with a particular ID attribute, and idref() refers to a set of nodes which have any of a number of ID attributes as determined by the arguments (also node sets). It would be clearer if these functions were called id() and idset(), or idref() and idrefs(). The same applies to key, keyref, doc, and docref. Just my $0.02. -Ray XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
