 Hi,

 Could someone confirm that the pattern "node()" matches a
document node?  This is what I understand from the section "5.5
Patterns" <http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#patterns>, but the wording
is quite complex, and the case where the NodeTest in the pattern
is document-node() is handled separatly, so I have maybe missed
something.


No, because, there is no way to issue <xsl:apply-templates/> that
would process a document node -- this must be issued when the current
node is the parent of the document node -- as we all know well, a
document node does not have a parent -- by definition.
