Description

Using wrong (Java/C-style) '==' operator is a nasty trap.

To cause an assertion failure, use the following xsl.

I use command line with Sun JDK1.4 for Linux, jars in lib/endorsed. No source xml needed. See
also Bug 2139.

I think this should produce a helpful message instead.

<xsl:if test="@atr != != 'val'"/>
<xsl:if test="@atr =!= 'val'"/>
<xsl:if test="@atr => 'val'"/>
<xsl:if test="@atr = + 'val'"/>
