I've been reminded that we've been forgetting an important point: Specific handling for Entity References is designed into the Traversal tools. Both NodeIterator and TreeWalker support the entityReferenceExpansion flag, which when set false will cause children of EntityReference nodes to be rejected. I believe our intent is that when this flag is set false its rejection takes precedence over both whatToShow and the user-provided filter (if any), just as the skip generated when whatToShow's relevant bit is false takes precedence over the filter. But that's not documented clearly enough in the current draft. Will fix. ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman / IBM Research
