[xsl] Irrecoverable BUG in MSXML 4.0 concerning ancestor::*[condition][1]

["Alexander Gutman" <gutman at novosoft-us dot com>]

Hello, friends.

Let's use MSXML 4.0 (July) and transform this:

  <root><node/></root>

via this:

  <xsl:template match="/root">
    <result>
      <xsl:for-each select="node">
        <xsl:if test="ancestor::*[true()][1]"><OK/></xsl:if>
      </xsl:for-each>
    </result>
  </xsl:template>

As a result, we obtain <result></result>
instead of <result><OK/></result>.

This time, I failed to find a work-around, switched to 3.0,
and had to stop testing MSXML 4.0 due to this bug.
Now I am working in 3.0 and waiting for the next version
to appear with (at least) this bug fixed.
