I'm a little confused about the interpretation of the pattern, "/.." My feeble knowledge of XSLT would parse this as the parent of the root, but that doesn't make any sense to me. Any help on what I'm missing would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Paul

Paul,

"/.." is one convenient way to specify an empty node-set since the root has no parent.

regards,
Johannes
