    <thetext>Soren Kuula [dongfang@dongfang.dk] has pointed out on the mulberrytech xsl-list
that rule 2 in XPath section 3.2.4 (Abbreviated Syntax for steps) causes the
step attribute(x) to default to using the attribute axis, but the axis for the
step schema-attribute(x) is the child axis. This is surely an error.

    <thetext>Mike,
Thanks for calling this error to our attention. On Feb 1, 2006 the Query and 
XSLT working groups agreed that the default axis for a step containing a 
SchemaAttributeTest should be the attribute axis. This will be reflected in the 
next edition of the XPath and XQuery specifications. Since you were present at 
the discussion, I have marked this issue as closed.
Regards,
