Description Abel Braaksma 2015-09-23 18:51:15 UTC
The last line before the example of section 6.7.3 is:

"A further reason for choosing this form is for streamability: this formulation is guaranteed-streamable, whereas the traditional form using select="node() | @*" is not (see 19.8.4.5 Streamability of xsl:apply-templates)."

This is no longer true, as attribute nodes now have striding posture and the union "StridingExpr | StridingExpr" is allowed with streamability rules.

I have deleted this paragraph. Closing the bug because this is purely editorial.
