You have to start somewhere.B  The sample file provided no documentation on
what it did or why the method was selected for getting started with python and
saxon.B I also wasn't expecting to have multiple ways to run a stylesheet
against content. The sample ran and created output and I swapped my pieces

works in oXygen fails in Python with Saxonc >I was just following a sample
file I found.> That's the way people write code these days. Copy and paste, no
need to understand it. Either that, or ask ChatGPT to do it for them. I guess
ChatGPT looks at more examples and is therefore more likely to get it right.
Who knows, it might even read the documentation.I guess that for people like
us developing APIs the important lesson is to try and make the method names as
explicit as we possibly can. "set_initial_match_selection" was, I suppose, an
attempt to do that. But it's only explicit if you know what the "initial match
selection" is, and I suppose most people don't.It's hard to see how to avoid
such problems.Michael KaySaxonica
