RE: Beginner's question: The | doesn't work

| is set union, while $or$ is logical-OR.
IE 5 beta 2 didn't implement set union.

The webMethods implementation supports returning any value rather
than just node values, so the following returns booleans:

  x $or$ y

while the following returns a set of x's and y's:

  x | y

However, the following two expressions are equivalent:

  x[y $or$ z]
  x[y | z]
