node()

Hi,
<abc att1="xyz"/>
What will the test evaluate to if the following expression is applied on the above element?
<if test="node()"> </if>
XML@Whiz says about this: The test condition will evaluate to false as the element <abc> has no children or text element as its children, that's why its not a node, having attribute doesn't qualify an element as a node.
Is this correct? Can't find any source for good explanaition. Thanks for a hint...

Hi,
node() test selects all nodes in the current context, regardless of the type. This includes elements, text, comments, processing instructions, attributes and namespace nodes. I guess hence it would be incorrect to say the test result is false.
