This generally is not true. What will be matched by the node test node() depends on the axis specifyier that comes with it: - child::node() matches elements, PIs, comments and text nodes - parent::node() matches elements or the root node. - attribute::node() matches attributes - namespace::node() matches namespaces. So, depending on the axis, every possible type of node can be matched by the node() node-test. Hope this helped. ===== Cheers, Dimitre Novatchev. http://fxsl.sourceforge.net/ -- the home of FXSL XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
