Re: A parameter current context or context passed

I would think I want "/" or "."  Wouldn't the context always be the
context of the parameter being passed in so "/" would never resolve to
the source xml?
Not sure what "/" over "." would gain in this case.

I have tested my param, and it seems to work fine.  I don't get the |
"pipe".  Is that an OR operator in this case?  Or is it more like a
switch?
