This could be a potential problem. All elements can have an ID attribute. What if you have an element with an ID attribute with the value "foo" which is part of a collection and you have another element (from the list of applicable elements) that has a name attribute with a value "foo" which is also a member of the same collection. Which element is returned? Or is an array or another collection of elements returned that contains all elements that have a name attribute with the value "foo" and the element with the attribute ID with the value "foo"? Posted from: 71.224.184.28 45020 1 craig.e.shea 2011-02-02 16:00:59 +0000 The specification clearly says "return the first node in the collection that mathches the following requirements". 45022 2 bzbarsky 2011-02-02 16:34:22 +0000 Though the spec should make it clear that the node returned matches _either_ of the following requirements. The "or" is really hard to notice; the up-front either would work better. 45054 3 zcorpan 2011-02-03 09:29:47 +0000 Reopening on behalf of bz 46245 4 ian 2011-03-03 23:56:06 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.
