Hi Florent,

I suppose if they are <code> elements and you want to be as
restrictive as possible, it should really be "element(code)+"...
although I don't often put the element names in, probably because it
seems a bit pointless when the select statement selects only those
nodes eg

select="//code" as="element(code)+"

If it does offer any benefits over just element()+ in that case it
would be interesting to know...



cheers
