Jim > That is why the rule was not written to read "If the supplied $pattern > matches a zero-length string and nothing else,...".

But I just used it to illustrate stuff, and also to show what I would expected (stating it would be "commonly expected regex behaviour" was indeed quite speculative, sorry). I know that the F/O WG chose different behaviour/semantics; I hope it will prove to be useful in everyday work. (I'm not sure about the usefulness of all those zero-length strings in the result sequence for example) > Nonetheless, we appreciate comments and suggested improvements! Happy to be of help. I appreciate your work on all this! So far I've experienced great joy but also bad headaches while working with XSLT 2. Tobi -- http://www.pinkjuice.com/
