Note that you get the 1.0 behavior in "backwards compatibility mode", that is, if the stylesheet specifies version="1.0". It's most likely to cause problems if the 1.0 stylesheet was failing to handle multi-valued data, for example <xsl:template match="book"> <xsl:value-of select="author"/> </xsl:template> in 1.0 will give you the name of the first author; in 2.0 (when you change the version number) it will give you the names of all the authors. In most cases this change is probably a Good Thing; if you only want the first author you now have to say so explicitly by writing select="author[1]". Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/
