Re: no wonder i'm confused about the node() function

  "* node() matches any node other than an attribute node and
  the root node"

of getting a *fourth* opinion.

"Beginning XSLT", Jeni Tennison, p. 244

"Different node types are matched or selected by different node tests, such as node(), text(), _comment()_, and _processing-instruction()_..."
