And this expression looks a little fishy since $grp-size=1 will return a boolean value which is probably not a meaningful argument for "mod".


Eliot's other comments are all valid but this one's wrong, I think. The
"mod" operator has higher precedence than "=". Mind you, it would probably
be worth writing it as


[(position() mod $grp-size) = 1]

so that other people reading your code don't make the same mistake.

Thanks for pointing this out--I should have double checked the precedence rules.


Maybe it's because I always depend on parentheses that I don't really bother to learn the precedence rules for different languages....

Cheers,

Eliot
