The node-set is implicitly converted to a boolean, which the processor (if intelligent enough) can evaluate as "true" as soon as the first such node is encountered. The expression "count(//send- fax)", OTOH, is more likely to trigger a complete tree-traversal starting at the context node. IIC, using a boolean would only mean a complete traversal iff the node-set is also empty (= false) Cheers Andreas --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
