I don't know how conformant MSXSL and .NET XSLT processing is in comparision
to other processors?

But no errors with match="." here...

It's not even legal, is it? Aren't axes apart from child:: and attribute::
illegal in patterns? "A location path pattern is a location path whose
steps all use only the child or attribute axes" [XSLT 5.2]. With a sort of
quasi-exception made for the '//' operator.

Given that (as surely every XSLT programmer learned in XSLT school) "." is
short for "self::node()", I should think this match would give you an error
in a conformant processor.

Cheers,
Wendell
