[xslt] Bug: xsltCompilePattern : failed to compile '@node()'

[Michael Ludwig <mlu as-guides com>]

Hi Daniel, hi folks,

Chance ruled that I stumble into an alternative, symmetrical syntax
for the identity template, which goes like this:

  <xsl:template match="@node()|node()">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@node()|node()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

Isn't it nice and symmetrical? Unfortunately, LibXSLT 1.1.24 doesn't
share my sense of aesthetics yet, and refuses to compile the expression
when it occurs in the match pattern. As a path expression, this compiles.

If you need more input or want me to enter this in the bug database,
please say so.

Regards,

Michael Ludwig
