I think yes ...
If that were true, then the condition
myelement[(_at_)myattribute][1] should be same as
myelement[1][(_at_)myattribute], which is not true...
The predicate order is important
in a typical "and"
[a and b] = [b and a]

Hi all,
Supposing I write following XPath expressions,
1) X[c1][c2] or specifying generically, X[c1][c2][]...[cn]
2) X[c1 and c2] or specifying generically, X[c1 and c2 ... and cn]
c1, c2 etc. are boolean expressions.
are the two forms (1 & 2) above exactly equivalent (i.e., will they
return the same nodeset/sequence)?. I think yes ... but just wanted to
confirm with the list.
if 1 & 2 are exactly equivalent, then what could be the rule of thumb
for using which form in certain scenarios?
