Sorry for my delay in responding - I've been on vacation. Xalan-J
2.3.1 treated the expression // as equivalent to
/descendant-or-self::node(), but only the latter is a syntactically
correct XPath expression. You should be able to use the latter with the
Xalan-J 2.7 Interpretive processor.
Thanks,
Henry
