If you mean that's why you think they should be the same, i can't argue with that. But that isn't why they _are_ the same. the default priority assignment never looks that closely, any predicate has the same effect. consider foo and foo[true()] for instance. xslt2 of course has several other overlapping node tests besides * and node() for example element() schema-element() etc. Best to view the default priority as a convenience that avoids mentioning priorities in the overwhelmingly common case of a template matching * and a bunch of templates matching specific element names. If you need anything subtle, put explicit priorities on (and choose a big number like 1000:-) David ________________________________________________________________________ The Numerical Algorithms Group Ltd is a company registered in England and Wales with company number 1249803.
