Hi,

i just fiddled around a bit, but didn't find a solution.
What strikes me as odd is that
	<xsl:variable name='v' select='false()'/>
works, while
	<xsl:variable name='v'>
		<xsl:value-of select='false()'/>
	</>
does not.
I don't think it's a bug as xsltproc, xmlspy, msxml and saxon 6 & 8 all
return the result you described.

I don't know if this was helpful.

Regards,
Wolfgang

I need

| 			<xsl:value-of select="true()"/>

| 		</xsl:otherwise>
| 	</xsl:choose>
| </xsl:variable>
|
|

|
| <xsl:variable name="myVariable">
| 	<xsl:if test="false()"/>
| </xsl:variable>
|
| This code generates nothing, but the variable $myVariable is still
ever true().
| Why? Only way how to create the variable with the false() value is:
|
| <xsl:variable name="myVariable">
| </xsl:variable>
|
| Is is some feature?

| I'm using libsxlt-1.1.10
