Does the root() function still exists as the Dec. 6 working draft of XPointer? It's mentioned twice in the draft but only in passing, and it's not mentioned at all in the XPath 1.0 spec. The two times it's mentioned seem like they could be accidental holdovers from an earlier draft. The root() function is mentioned in 1.3 in the [Definition:] root section and in the definition of the preceding node in the non-normative B3. +-----------------------+------------------------+-------------------+ | Elliotte Rusty Harold | elharo@metalab.unc.edu | Writer/Programmer | +-----------------------+------------------------+-------------------+ | The XML Bible (IDG Books, 1999) | | http://metalab.unc.edu/xml/books/bible/ | | http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0764532367/cafeaulaitA/ | +----------------------------------+---------------------------------+ | Read Cafe au Lait for Java News: http://metalab.unc.edu/javafaq/ | | Read Cafe con Leche for XML News: http://metalab.unc.edu/xml/ | +----------------------------------+---------------------------------+
