yup, i submitted a bugzilla for xsltproc about that already.
my final understanding is that "node()", being short for
"child::node()", should match all of (and only)
1) elements
2) text nodes
3) comments
4) PIs
and that's all. thus, tidwell is incorrect in his book, and
www.w3.org/TR/xslt should be clarified/corrected as well.
on to fighting with FOP now.
