Help with xslt

[Mike]

Hello,
I am using Oxygen to help with the learning process. I have the
following xslt and I am trying to understand why I am only getting
one "name" (<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>Belgian Waffles)from
the xml file below.
Thanks

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="2.0">
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:value-of select="/breakfast_menu/food/name"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>Belgian Waffles

xsl:value-of creates a text node. and this is how it works in XSLT 1.0
and 2.0 respectively.

If you run the above code with a XSLT 2.0 processor (like, Saxon),
you'll get *all the names* in the output separated by a space
character.

but if you run the above code with a XSLT 1.0 processor, you'll get
only the 1st element of the nodeset (called sequence in 2.0).
