ALl, I want to test if the first child node is a specific name "NodeName" node.I use the following expression.

<xsl:if test="child::node()[1]=NodeName">
  ...
</xsl:if>

But it doesn't work. Then I changed the expression to

<xsl:if test="child::node()[1]='NodeName'">
  ...
</xsl:if>

or

<xsl:if test="name(child::node()[1])='NodeName'">
  ...
</xsl:if>

They all seem work.

I want to know which one is the correct one?
Thanks.
