There's nothing to highlight... - attribute order is not guaranteed: this just means 2 different conformant implementations could return attributes in different orders to each other (or theoretically even themselves) - position() returns the position of a node within a node list, last() returns the last node in a node list The two things are unrelated (or orthogonal! knew I would use that word one day...) -- Andrew Welch http://andrewjwelch.com
