DTD implied attributes are no different from explicit ones. The order is defined but implementation specific. ie for a given element node . each time you do @*[2] in a run of the stylesheet you get the same attribute node, as th eattributes (defaulted or not) are placed in some order when the input tree is constructed. But you can't guarantee you get the same result if you run the stylesheet again. (Most likely you will if you use th esame input and same XSL engine, but that is not guaranteed) > 2. (//* | //@*) > What is the "document order for the above node-set? node sets don't have an order:-) That set consists of all element and attribute nodes in the source tree in no particular order. That _source tree_ has a defined document order (ie defined by the implementation, and fixed for a given run) Note that document order _always_ refers to an input tree (either an input document or a constructed tree from node-set) the order _never_ depends on which set of nodes is in the node set under consideration.
