I’m updating code that has expressions like:

<xsl:when test=”*[@a = ‘1’ and @b = ‘2’ and @c = ‘3’]”>

My normal practice would be to use separate predicates:

<xsl:when test=”*[@a = ‘1’][@b = ‘2’][@c = ‘3’]”>

But it occurs to me that in this case the expressions are functionally 
identical: the set of predicates is effectively an AND group.

Is there any reason to prefer one form expression over the other?


In a word, no.
