RE: How to get nodes with maximum attributes ??

> I am trying to get the node with maximum attributes.

This kind of thing is so much easier with XPath 2.0:

<xsl:variable name="nodes" select="...">
<xsl:variable name="max-atts" 
   select="max(for $n in $nodes return count($n/@*))"/>
<xsl:variable name="nodes-with-max-atts"
   select="$nodes[count(@*) = $max-atts]"/>

This will all work with Saxon 7.x. If you have to use an XSLT 1.0
processor, you can simulate this logic using extension functions from
the EXSLT library or elsewhere.
