Hi Robert, a pattern (p.443) is a path expression, but not every path expression (.p408) is a valid pattern.

(Why not? No good reason, it's just that the spec doesn't allow it." but on p. 408, there is an explanation of the (apparently acceptable) path expression "(chapter/para)[1]". so is it just the difference between using the child axis and the descendant-or-self axis? it's not obvious to me why the first should be illegal while the second is legal. rday XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
