Hi Roger,

To me, this indicates the intent clearly. I find it beautiful in its own XSLT
way.

item"?

Hi Folks,

I have a variable, $tokens, whose value is a sequence of items.

I want to select all items after the first item. Here is one way to do it:

	$tokens[position() gt 1]

To my eyes, that is not beautiful code.

Is there a beautiful (i.e., succinct) way to select all items after the first
item?

/Roger
