Re: [xsl] get the max-value

[Antonio Fiol <fiol at w3ping dot com>]

Oops!!

I had not seen that you have many Characteristic elements. I thought you 
only had one of them.

Let me guess:

//Data/Characteristic/Value[not(//Data/Characteristic/Value > .)]

I think this should work (maybe with number() as in my wrong post).

Try to avoid the // if you can specify the right path to your Data element.

There may exist a more optimal Xpath for the comparison inside the 
not(). However, I am not a specialist in XSLT optimization.

AFAIR, cost of this approach should be nē.

You may be able to get it in n.log(n) by restricting that Xpath expression.
