Hi,

->PS: As far as I know, select="///element... is not legal.

I didn't find anything that said /// is illegal. It works fine with my
version of Xalan...
And I think it's more logical to write /// than to write //, because for me
the first slash represents the root element and the second and third are the
short version for descendant-or-self, if you look at // you don't know (ok
YOU do know, but the average user doesn't) if it's starting at the root
element or if it has the meaning of .//
But thats just my 2c.

bye
Frank
