Xalan and Saxon both allow an arbitrary number of space characters
between the parenthesis in a node test, and I was
wondering if this is technically legal in XPath 1.0. An example would be: <xsl:apply-templates select="node( )"/> The XPath TR specifically states that whitespace can exist between tokens, but I'm not exactly sure how "token" is defined after reading the recent thread concerning "$ varname". A node test in the XPath TR is defined as: [7] NodeTest ::= NameTest | NodeType '(' ')' | 'processing-instruction' '(' Literal ')' Can anyone explain this to me?
