RE: [xsl] Using attributes with XPath

1. The axis concepts concerning XML elements (parent::*, child::*,
etc.) is not the same between an element and its attributes. 
Thus for a beginner in XSLT, my comment about attributes 
stands. 

Eh? You said an attribute has no parent. But if $x is an attribute, then
$x/parent::* gives you an element, whether you are a beginner in XSLT or
not. You don't help beginners by making statements that aren't true.


You really think beginners are going to wade through all the 
techno-talk when working with a workflow they probably didn't 
even setup in the first place?


No, beginners aren't going to wade through it all. That's why it's very
important not to give them incorrect information.
