Yes. I hadn't realized the code on dW has not been updated to reflect
this. I'll have that done. I discovered (and fixed) this bug in 4XSLT
last year while writing the following article which uses the same
technique:
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/x-xsltip.html
And comparing the 4XSLT results against Saxon.

True. And this is where the article in question needs to be fixed.
Thanks all for pointing this out.
