Hi Paul,
it's correct: "/.." selects the parent of the root, which does not exist and is so a guarantee for an empty nodeset. It's often used as default value for a param, so you can be sure a nodeset is sent via <xsl:with-param/> or not.
Regards,
Joerg

I'm a little confused about the interpretation of the pattern, "/.." My feeble knowledge of XSLT would parse this as the parent of the root, but that doesn't make any sense to me. Any help on what I'm missing would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Paul
