Sorry for not being clear enough, but I had meant to ask "why are
patterns like (foo) or (/child::foo) considered invalid patterns as
per XSLT specification ?"
Curious  as to whether this kind of a pattern breaks any semantics of XSLT .
rgds,

I'll let someone else step in to correct me if I get the language wrong, but:

/ or foo are nodes, while () indicates a function call.  So
"count(current())" or "count(foo)" would both be valid, because the
current() in the first is a function, while the foo in the second is
just a node..
