Re: Evaluation of predicates (potential bug in MSXML

JFYI: In the following scenario, the result of MSXML .NET
differs from the results of Saxon, Xalan and Libxslt/Libxml2.

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

  <xsl:template match="/">
          <xsl:value-of select="count(//foo[name() = 'foo'][1])"/>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<foo>
  <foo>
    <foo/>
    <foo/>
    <foo/>
  </foo>
</foo>

Result of MSXML .NET:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' ?>
1

All the other processors return "3".

However, MSXML .NET returns "3", if we change the expression to
"count(//foo[1][1])".
