Description Anthony Jones 2006-12-01 14:59:06 UTC 
"XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Data Model" specifies that: "The relative order of nodes in distinct trees is stable but implementation-dependent". 

The test nodeexpression23 seems to be assuming a particular ordering of nodes in distinct trees:

<a>50000</a> << $input-context1/works[1]/employee[1]/empnum[1]

(expected result = "true")
Comment 1 Carmelo Montanez 2006-12-11 21:37:13 UTC 
Anthony:

Thanks for the message.  The catalog file does specify an alternate expected results to account for the order.  I will mark the bug as "wontfix".  Please close the bug if in agreement.

Thanks,
Carmelo

Thanks Carmelo, you are entirely correct. No idea how I missed that. I'll close the bug.
