Re: [basex-talk] Shouldn't condition and true be a no-op?

Dear Christian,

Thanks! It's true(), i didn't know that! Constants as zero-ary functions is certainly consistent with Universal Algebrahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_algebra. So, i'm sympathetic to this design.

Best wises,

you may be surprised to hear that "true" is no boolean value, but a valid path expression, yielding all element child nodes with the name "true". Using the function "true()" will give you the expected results.

Hope this helps, Christian
