Thanks to Colin, Michael et al. for your input on this issue. Personally I am not phased by 1 or 0 though I guess, after your advice, the XPath 1-based idiom is the one I may as well favor in order to make for a more seemless interface to my external XPath library. The woe for me however is having to counter the screams I'll no doubt get from the library-developer (Javascript) users & also the hassle of converting indexes on the external library side. Anyway the hit was going to come from one side or the other (XSLT or Javascript) so I might as well go with the XPath 1-based index idiom and get over it. Since a lot of the library side uses Javascript native code for Array functions, that will cost performance there but, oh well, so what; premature optimization is the root of all evil as someone once said. Sigh & thanks, Justin Johansson
