Re: [xsl] Finding an element without a particular attribute?

["Wendell Piez wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

Except for at the top, in this model, 'map[not(@key)]' (or
'map[empty(@key)]' if you like) happens to coincide with 'array/map'.

This is due to a property of JSON, namely that map properties (of any type)
have keys, but not array members (of any type).

If this is obvious or intrusive to note, please forgive the noise.

Cheers, Wendell
