Wow.. that is easy except that I do not understand your notice
explanation... the difference between your not( ... ) and your !=.  I
do not see how they would match any differently.  You are saying that
the one in your example only evaluate to true when a cat attribute
exists and not equal to BLUE but in the case where you use the NOT

I can't even ask the question!! : )

So what is the difference then?  I don't get it.
