>I'd recommend using "this node" (the node on which the method is >invoked) and "other node" (the node passed as a parameter) and remove >mentions of "given" and "reference" nodes in this context. As an alternative to "other node", we could also consider "parameter node" or "node passed as a parameter"... a bit more verbose but avoids any question about the intent. (I'd almost be tempted to render "this" in boldface when we're using it as a keyword to signify the-node-which-is-performing-the-operation, but I don't think I can see the WG on that idea.) ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman, IBM Next-Generation Web Technologies: XML, XSL and more.
