Re: [xsl] Where in the XPath 2.0 is the text stating that a function can be used as the location step?

Even a single example in the spec. would also be of great help and a
step forward.



I found a single example: the last example in 3.3.2.

Yes, and even here they talk about "filter expression" and the word
"function" or "function call" is never mentioned.

In general I agree. I think the reason this wasn't done for XPath 2.0 (apart
from the fact that no-one volunteered to do it!) is that the changes from
XPath 1.0 to 2.0 are so extensive.

Even a single example in the spec. would also be of great help and a
step forward.
