Yep, that's why it was so confusing...
I'm using msxml3.dll

which system are you using?
That test should return false (and saxon and msxsl do the right thing)
SomeNode!=''
see the XPath spec:
SomeNode!=''
s true if and only if there is a node in the node set selected by
SomeNode such that that node has string vale != ''.
If the node set is empty clearly there is no node in the set with this
propoerty so the test is false.
