I want to use XPath 2.0 functions, like these:

http://www.w3schools.com/xpath/xpath_functions.asp

In a browser XSL transform. I can specify the XSL version as 2.0 in the stylesheet tag, but this doesn’t seem to activate the 2.0 XPath functions (at least in Firefox).

So for example this:

<xsl:value-of select="node-name(//testnode)"/>

gives me:

'node-name' is not a valid XSLT or XPath function. -->node-name(//testnode)<--

in IE 8. The XPath 1.0 functions:

seem to work fine. Chrome doesn’t appear to support XSL 2.0 from what I read.

    Today, no browser support XPath 2.0

    Use name() instead.
