[bug?] problem with xsi:nil [message #54936]

I think I hit a strange bug... using the transformation
<c:get select="/name" />

on
<name xsi:nil="true" />

I get the error:
templates/main.jet(1,1): <c:get select="/name">
Error: XPath expression returned no result

while it works for any other namespace/attribute:
<name any:nil="true" />
<name xsi:any="true" />
<name nil="true" />
<name any="true" />

any idea on the reason why?

Mauro,

I imagine that's because xsi:nil and xsi:type have special "meta
meaning" in the XML instance and hence aren't treated like any other
attribute. The <name xsi:nil="true"/> will be treated as if the name
were set to null, which would look the same as there being no name at
all. Likely that's the root of the issue...
