Please don't pronounce the T-word on this list. In the context of the XPath data model, FIRST is an element.

There is nothing at all wrong with talking about TAGs on XSL-List, when the discussion is about tags. In this case, the discussion is about an element, and it is important to use the jargon correctly.


The "T-word", as Florent puts it, is not a dirty word on XSL-List. It is simply not an synonym of "element", and is something we rarely need to discuss in the context of XSL.
