RE: [xsl] Next Node tests

[Ian_blizard at hp dot com (Ian Blizard)]

Thanks for your help everyone,

Jeni, David, Joerg and the numerous other who have helped me through to 
completetion of my XSL project, I salute you.

Apologies for confusing 'user-error' woth 'sporadic behaviour', it just 
seemed bizarre that the same XML fiel transformed differently using the 
same XSL stylesheets on different machines.

I'm off to hopefully contribute some more bugs through 'user-error'.

-Buzz.

David already explained why your code may have "behaved sporadically".
In addition to this, if you want to have a robust test not dependend
on how the template was invoked, you may want to use something like
  <xsl:when test="not(following-sibling::item)"/>
or
  <xsl:when test="not(following-sibling::*)"/>
