Re: xpath expression restriction

Hi Andre,
     I'm not sure, but perhaps writing the whole if condition in
braces may force evaluation of the if expression before providing this
operand to operator "gt".

i.e could you please try if following works,

<xsl:copy-of select="abc[position() gt (if ($cond) then 1 else 0)]"/>

also curious to know, what do you write to evaluate $cond?
