Unfortunately while the above is legal in XPath 2.0 in an expression, it's still not allowed in a pattern - the syntax of patterns is much more restrictive. If you've got a schema then you might find that the elements you want to match are all members of the same substitution group, in which case you can write comments//schema-element(inline) where "inline" is the head of the substitution group. Or the elements might all have the same type, in which case you can write comments//element(*, inlineType). Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/
