Re: Patterns usage in XSLT template rules

Hi Bruce,
Sorry for not being clear enough, but I had meant to ask "why are
patterns like (foo) or (/child::foo) considered invalid patterns as
per XSLT specification ?"
Curious  as to whether this kind of a pattern breaks any semantics of XSLT .
rgds,
Menon
