Hi,

I found this example interesting, because it shows that

node()

does not match the document node "/" -- *as a match pattern*.

Correct. Because the Location Path "node()" (with no axis given) is short for "child::node()", and / won't match that.


In a select expression, if you say "ancestor-or-self::node()", you'll get the root (with whatever else), because the node() node test does test true on the root.

Cheers,
Wendell
