[xsl] Uncontrolled navigation around a document using @* ... huh?

2013-11-14 04:27:56
Hi Folks,

The XSLT 3.0 specification introduces a new function for obtaining the 
attributes on a node, fn:attributes.

fn:attributes has some desirable properties that @* does not have:

        Unlike the attribute axis, @*, the 
        fn:attributes function returns atomized 
        attribute values, which cannot be 
        used as the base for uncontrolled 
        navigation around the document.

Huh?

What does that mean? How does @* enable "uncontrolled navigation around the 
document." What does that mean? Would you provide an example to illustrate this 
"uncontrolled navigation" please?

/Roger
