I remember being genuinely confused why anyone would call xsl:variable "xsl:variable" when it was in fact a constant. The list experts explained to me why it's called that, I learned something, and then I was happy. It's no different to text() or != or whatever part of the language we repeat this thread on next. (by the way Im specifically talking about != and not = vs eq) On 25 March 2014 14:38, Ihe Onwuka <ihe.onwuka@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Exactly. > > But the fact that I understand the difference between eq and = it > doesn't mean I can't appreciate it's potential to p**s people off. > > On Tue, Mar 25, 2014 at 2:29 PM, Andrew Welch <andrew.j.welch@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >>> Here "misused" doesn't mean "will give the wrong answer most of the >>> time."
