Yes "//." is equivalent to "//self::node().  I don't have a problem with
self::node() using 1.4.  Are you sure it doesn't work?

//. definitely doesn't work, so I'll take a look and see what's going on.

                      Please respond

                      to xalan-dev






The Xalan 1.4 SimpleXPathAPI.exe doesn't appear to accept the XPath
expressions //. or //self:node() as its 3rd parameter (throwing a
XalanParserException).
These are equivalent, and one or the other is required to support XML-DSIG.

Or am I dreaming?
