   Re: [xml-dev] Question for the XPath and DOM folks

[ Lists Home | Date Index | Thread Index ]

Hmm, Saxon 5.4.1 gives 3, while Saxon 6.5.1 gives 1.  A few quiet changes
behind the scenes, I see.

Cheers,

But if you change the question to ask "what is the value of
count(foo/text())", then the only possible answer is 1, and any product that
says otherwise is non-conformant.

MSXML3, when I last looked, was non-conformant in this respect. (See XSLT
Programmer's Reference, 2nd Edition, Wrox Press, page 700).
