Hi all, I implemented the current XPath Filter 2.0 spec [1] and came acrosse the following foggily passage at the beginning of section 3.3: The input required by this transform is an XPath node-set over the input document. If the input document is an octet stream, then the application MUST convert the octet stream to an XPath node-set that contains all of the document nodes (including comment nodes). The XPath evaluation context for the node-set will be: (1) I think there a fuzzy use of the term "input document": In the first sentence it identifies the underlying document of the input node set (as defined in section 2, so I think this is the correct use). In the second sentence it identifies the input data of the transform; I suggest to use the term "input" instead. (2) The conversion form an octet stream to a XPath node-set should be given more precise: I suggest to use the same sentence as can be found in section 4.3.3.2 of XMLDISG [2]: "... MUST attempt to parse the octets yielding the required node-set via [XML] well-formed processing."
