RE: [xsl] end.tag minimization problem continued

Mikael,

With this XML:

<dataType>
   <sequence>
       <moRef name="ManagedObject"/>
       <length>5</length>
   </sequence>
</dataType>

And this XSL (on xalan):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
   <xsl:output method="text"/>

   <xsl:template match="sequence">
       <!-- Check if <sequence>-element has no <length> attribute.-->
       foo
       <xsl:if test="not(length)">
           <xsl:message terminate="yes">
           <!-- class name and attribute error message -->
            Attribute:<xsl:value-of select="../@name"/>
            Class:    <xsl:value-of select="../../@name"/>
            Error:    sequence missing child element, length.
          </xsl:message>
       </xsl:if>
       bar
   </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

I get:

       foo
       bar

which is what was expected.  Same with empty-element <length/>. When I 
remove the <length> element I get a termination message, again as expected.

Regards,
