I have a question..

What should be the output of?

<xsl:template match="/">
 <xsl:value-of
select="count(preceding-sibling::node()[1])" />
</xsl:template>

Should it be 0 or 'NaN' .. Or something else?

Regards,
Mukul



I don't know the book answer but instinctively I feel the count of anything should not be NaN. What set does not have cardinality, if that's the correct term?
