[xsl] problem with last() function

[John Walker <dtd2050@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi All!

   I want to know if a node is followed by some particular nodes or if 
it's the last node of the set. So I've tried:

           <xsl:if test="following-sibling::table | 
following-sibling:list | self::node()[position()=last()]">

I've had to use "self::node()[position()=last()]" instead of simply 
"position()=last()" because this last comparison doesn't return a DOM 
node (wich seems to enter in conflict with the previous comparisons)... 
but it doesn't work! "self::node()[position()=last()]" always returns 
the current node, doesn't matter if it's the last or not.
I've an alternative solution, but I'd like to know why this particular 
expresion doesn't work! (...despite of curiosity killed the cat...)

Thanx a lot!
