Re: [xsl] probably a XPath mistake

Hmm, I will discuss it with our legal departement, because they are  
already over their heads with sorting out the different licenses that  
go with the libraries we use and that have to be integrated in our  
license before we can release a first version.

Anyway, thanks, now I at least know what was going wrong and why it  
did work in JDK 5. The processor in both JDK 5 and 6 is Xalan I  
thought, but I can't find any version info about which version is  
used where.
