Hi Esmond,
Your email has this:
(//. | //@* | //namespace::*)[not(self:comment())]
Did you mean:
(//. | //@* | //namespace::*)[not(self::comment())]
"self:comment" is different from "self::comment". The later works, the
former doesn't. Perhaps I can enhance SimpleXPathAPI to produce more
useful error messages than it does. If I put your expression into a
stylesheet and run it, I get:
XPathParserException: Unable to resolve prefix 'self'. pattern = '(//. |
//@* | //namespace::*)[not(self:comment())]'(test1.xsl, 6, 79)
Remaining tokens: ('(' '/' '/' '.' '|' '/' '/' '@' '*' '|' '/' '/'
'namespace' '::' '*' ')' '[' 'not' '(') (test1.xsl, line 6, column 79)

Thanks, quick work!
The complete expression I need is:
(//. | //@* | //namespace::*)[not(self:comment())]
The 'not' part doesn't seem to work either.
TIA

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.

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?
TIA
