In XSLT 1.0 this should give you an error: the argument of count() must be a
node-set, not a boolean. (It's actually one of the few type errors you can
get from XSLT 1.0).
In 2.0 the count() of a boolean value is always one (a single value is a
sequence of length one).
I don't know what result you wanted: perhaps
count(*[starts-with(name(),'DGBUIMSNNumber')][(_at_)action='add'])

Subject: [xsl] What is wrong with this count()
Hello everyone,
I am trying hard to figure out why this isn't working:
count(*[starts-with(name(),'DGBUIMSNNumber')]/@action='add')
It always returns 1. Why?
Many thanks,
Houman
