I got three wrong too. And I completely agree with both Jeni's criticisms of interpretation.

Yes, sneaky: no fair.
In general, the test orients itself to how much one knows about XSLT (and how well one reads XPath), rather than how well one codes it. That's inevitable I guess.

The answer to question 6 is wrong.
It is an error to have two template rules that match the same node. The processor can either signal the error (i.e., fail), or recover by choosing the last one that matches, at implementor discretion. Saxon passes the choice on to the user; by default it outputs a warning message and then takes the recovery action.

Nice quiz, but it's sneaky to put in subtle syntax errors that test your powers of observation rather than your XSLT knowledge. I got 3 wrong.
