But test=".[FieldNumber='26']" is also a valid XSLT test imho, although
not a clever one. The nodelist that contains only the current node is filtered
with a predicate, so it's contains either one or none node. Converted to 
boolean it is a legal test.

Darryl's problem is apparently that the XSLT-Processor used by cooktop
doesn't recognize a predicate after a '.' or self::node() at all.

But as always more information is needed.
