Yes. But it is one of the few difference, so when we have to migrate an XSLT script from 1.0 to 2.0, I think it is one of the thing we have in mind.
Yes. One of the things the committee did right was not blow all our hard-won XSLT 1.0 knowledge completely out of the water.
And the incompatibility is only in the cases where we relied in 1.0 on the fact that only the first node of the node-set will be taken, without write this explicitely (by "[1]"). Which is not a good practice, IMHO.
Agreed. Although I've sometimes been guilty of the practice myself, it's also always seemed to me to be one of those "features" that creates needless obscurity. Better to write generate-id(key('by-id',@id)[1]) explicitly. (Not that we have to do *that* any more!)
Note also that a space delimiter is the default, but statements like xsl:value-of can set the separator to any string (even empty, which is usefull), with "@separator". The paragraph I gave the number explains this simple algorithm (what happens for AVT, xsl:value-of, etcetera).
Thanks for the correction, Wendell
