Re: why not match text()? (fork from "Novice Question

After cleanup, the result of

<xsl:stylesheet version="3.0"
xmlns:xsl = "http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xs = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<!-- 3.0 only because of round($arg, $precision) -->
<xsl:output method="text"/>
<xsl:template name="main">
<xsl:variable name="xsldocs"
select="collection('file:///c:/cygwin/home/gerrit?select=[_a-zA-Z0-9]*.xsl;recurse=yes')"
/>
<xsl:variable name="file-count" select="count($xsldocs)" as="xs:double" />
<xsl:variable name="text-in-pattern-count"
select="count($xsldocs/*/xsl:template[matches(@match, 'text\(\)')])"
as="xs:double" />
Files: <xsl:value-of select="$file-count" />
Matches: <xsl:value-of select="$text-in-pattern-count" />
Average: <xsl:value-of select="round($text-in-pattern-count div
$file-count, 2)" />
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

is:

Files: 971
Matches: 971
Average: 1

The identical value of 971 for the matches seems to be purely
accidental. When looking for 'node()' instead of 'text()', match count
is 644; when looking for 'br', it is 187.

There were all kinds of problems during cleanup, ranging from unresolved
svn conflicts over unterminated elements (= abandoned work in progress),
illegal UTF-8 characters to symlinks. We need to think about
well-formedness checks on the file system level.
(These days one has to add: If mankind survives, i.e., unless JSON gains
Complete World Domination.)

Cheers,
