Re: [xml-dev] isXPath1 / isXPath2 -- not(/..)
There seems to be something wrong with the type evaluation of Saxon 9.1J
When I evaluate this:
/.. instance of item()
the result is:
false()
As item() is the root of the type system and every possible value is an item(), the above result means that /.. has type that isn't defined anywhere in the type system.
Seems this has something to do with the "highest possible derived type", or is just a bug.
Also, we do need a type-of(expr) function.
Any thoughts, please?
