Hi, I was trying out Xalan C++ 1.2 (RedHat Linux) and found that the match attribute of the xsl:template allows a variable reference in the predicates. (eg) <xsl:template match = "doc[$foo]">
The XSLT specification is clear in stating that the variable references are not allowed in template and key match patterns. The following code also coredumps because of the circular reference. <xsl:variable name="foo"> <xsl:apply-templates select="//doc"/> </xsl:variable> <xsl:template match = "doc[$foo]"> </xsl:template> The confusing part is the testcase in the Xalan test suite match14.xsl which shows that a variable can be used in the template match pattern. Can someone pl. confirm if this is intentional?? Thanks, -Sriram
