GOT IT!!!
What ever node type this should be: <![if !IE]> <![endif]>
this is the reason for the exception. Why the explicite XPath works? I don't know ... At other places in the same file these constructs are placed in comments and don't disturb: <!--[if IE]><![endif]--> To which language do these constructs belong?
You mean you don't use the "Downlevel-revealed Conditional Comment" and the "Downlevel-hidden Conditional Comment" every day? When I first ran into this I was quite confused but google came to the rescue:

No, never - and I'm sure I will never!! If I need browser specific code, I will use Cocoon with browser selector and XSLT :)
Basically, IIRC it's a microsoft extension to html which is a conditional evaluated by the browser. The two have different meanings that I haven't quite taken the time to grasp. Do they use it on every page? How about switching to google or cnn?
Don't know if on every page, but they *do* use it and this can always break our sample. I have already a simple list for http://www.theserverside.com running. (Topnews is Cocoon 2.1 at the moment :) If there is any interest, I can style it tomorrow. Of course we can switch to any news site, maybe others have better suggestions? Apache sites are to boring for this purpose, aren't they?
