Yes. But it is one of the few difference, so when we have to migrate
an XSLT script from 1.0 to 2.0, I think it is one of the thing we have
in mind.
Yes. One of the things the committee did right
was not blow all our hard-won XSLT 1.0 knowledge completely out of the water.
And the incompatibility is only in the cases where we relied in 1.0
on the fact that only the first node of the node-set will be taken,
without write this explicitely (by "[1]"). Which is not a good
practice, IMHO.
Agreed. Although I've sometimes been guilty of
the practice myself, it's also always seemed to
me to be one of those "features" that creates
needless obscurity. Better to write
generate-id(key('by-id',@id)[1]) explicitly. (Not
that we have to do *that* any more!)
Note also that a space delimiter is the default, but statements like
xsl:value-of can set the separator to any string (even empty, which is
usefull), with "@separator". The paragraph I gave the number explains
this simple algorithm (what happens for AVT, xsl:value-of, etcetera).
Right ... I'm remembering now.... :->
Thanks for the correction,
Wendell
