RE: node-set() function in MSXML?

[Joshua Allen <joshuaa at microsoft dot com>]

Can anyone speculate about other areas where this behavior could
cause pain?  Most importantly, can anyone imagine stylesheets
that do *not* use node-set() extensions and do *not* expect the
RTF to be a node-set, but are tripped up by the fact that
MSXML assumes it is?  I want to make sure I give this a complete
treatment in the FAQ..

Thanks,
Joshua
