I'm reading through the XPath 2.0 Requirements. "In XPath 1.0, the use of a collection-valued subexpression can introduce an implicit existential quantification or choose-first-member operation into the containing expression's semantics." The problem with XPath 1.0 appears to be that: /a[b = 5] Returns all matches while.. /a[b + 1 = 6] .. returns only the first match. The fix in XPath 2.0 appears to be to return an error for the latter if there is more than one match. Why is it not possible to return all /a[b + 1 = 6] ? -- Alan Gutierrez - alan@e... - http://engrm.com/blogometer/index.html - http://engrm.com/blogometer/rss.2.0.xml
