Description

If a pattern begins with either "id(Literal)" or "key(Literal,Literal)" and has
two StepPatterns after, each separated by a single '/', the StepPatterns are
treated by Xalan as if they were separated by '//'. For example, when the
following stylesheet

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="text"/>
<xsl:template match='id("abc")/l1/v'>
<xsl:text>Matched id("abc")/l1/v; </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select='.'/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

is applied to the following document

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE root [
<!ELEMENT root (l1)>
<!ATTLIST root id ID #REQUIRED>
<!ELEMENT l1 (l2)>
<!ELEMENT l2 (l3)>
<!ELEMENT l3 EMPTY>
<!ELEMENT v (#PCDATA)>
]>
<root id='abc'>
<l1>
<v>Text from root(id='abc')/l1/v</v>
<l2>
<v>Text from root(id='abc')/l1/l2/v</v>
<l3>
<v>Text from root(id='abc')/l1/l2/l3/v</v>
</l3>
</l2>
</l1>
</root>

Xalan produces the following output:

Matched id("abc")/l1/v; Text from root(id='abc')/l1/v

Matched id("abc")/l1/v; Text from root(id='abc')/l1/l2/v

Matched id("abc")/l1/v; Text from root(id='abc')/l1/l2/l3/v
