Re: [xsl] Problem with document() function

["Gustaf Liljegren" <gustaf dot liljegren at xml dot se>]

From: "Michael Kay" <mhkay@iclway.co.uk>:

The problem was solved by Wendell Piez, and indirectly by yourself, thanks
to the XSLT Programmer's Reference. :-)

Should have been:

  <xsl:variable name="data" select="document('contact1.xml')"/>

And also:

  <xsl:value-of select="$data/*//organization"/>
                               ^
(to find nested contact info)

It works, but still I'm not sure how to read the XPath expression
"$data/*//organization". In particular, I'm not yet sure what the '*' adds
to it. Since '$data' returns the document (starting from the root node I
assume), it seems logical that only the '//' + [element name] should be able
to return the content from any element.
