[xsl] Request help in understanding: node instance of schema-element(no

Hi Folks,

Apparently I am not correctly understanding this XPath statement:

    if (//test instance of schema-element(test)) then  
        //test * 2 
    else 'Error'

My understanding of the XPath is this: "If the <test> element in the
input document conforms to the declaration of test in the XML Schema
then multiply its value by 2, otherwise output Error."
 
I have an XML Schema in which I declare the <test> element.  The <test>
element in the input XML document conforms to the Schema declaration.
So, I expected the XPath statement to execute the if-statement.
Instead, it executes the else-statement.  Thus, the output is: Error.

What am I doing wrong?

I am using the schema-aware version of SAXON, version 8.9.0.4j.  Below
is the stylesheet, XML Schema, and XML document.

Any help would be much appreciated.

/Roger
