Hi,
Above, the position() returns the context position of the
self:node() locations step, and will always return 1; last()
will also always return 1 as the context size for self::*
will never exceed 1. Thus, the above predicate test will
always return true.
That makes sense, but then why does his test
<xsl:when test="self::node()[position()=last()]">
always return false? 1 = 1, so you would expect the above to
be true. Yet Steve says that instead of the <xsl:when> clause,
"it always uses the otherwise" clause.
I must have misread his question then, but the Expression above will always
return true.
