Subject: [xsl] msxml xpath problem

Can anyone tell me why this:
<xsl:value-of select="child::*[2][name()='arg']"/>
and this <xsl:value-of select="child::*[2]"/>
returns the value of the second child, the name of which is arg while
this
<xsl:value-of select="child::arg[2]"/>

if the context was the same I would expect this one to work

and this
<xsl:value-of select="arg[2]"/>, all in the same template 

if the context was the same I wouldnt expect this one to work, 

does not. Note
that the last example did return the value at one point but 
somehow the
context seems to have been lost. There are no templates overriding the
template dealing with this anywhere in my import chain. Is there a bug
with msxml anywhere that would explain such loss of context?

I think we need to see the xml and xslt, to determine if its a node context 
issue.

cheers, jim fuller
