Re: processing-instruction()


I read it and found David acknowedged, because the link to NodeTest (http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#NT-NodeTest) states, that processing-instruction('Literal') is a NodeTest too.

So there is a sentence in XSLT spec saying
processing-instruction('Literal') has priority of 0

and a in the XPATH spec merged with the XSLT spec a sentence saying

processing-instruction('Literal') has priority of -0.5

What about node() and * - do they have the same priority?

Really strange ;-)

Other than that it looks OK except

<xsl:template match="node()">

<xsl:template match="processing-instruction('Eqn')">

have the same default priority so you want to add priority="10" to
the processing-instruction ones.

Actually, I think the processing-instruction('Eqn') matching template
has a priority of 0 while the node() matching template has a priority
of -0.5:

  ...
  * If the pattern has the form of a QName preceded by a
    ChildOrAttributeAxisSpecifier *or has the form
    processing-instruction(Literal)* preceded by a
    ChildOrAttributeAxisSpecifier, then the priority is 0.
  ...
  * Otherwise, if the pattern consists of just a NodeTest preceded
    by a ChildOrAttributeAxisSpecifier, then the priority is -0.5.
  ...
