XPath syntax

I have a question regarding validity of the XPath.
If I have a predicate [A=] Xalan says it is valid(even without a RHS
after the =). If I evaluate it evaluates to true.

Can somebody shed some light on this. Should this not say this
expression is invalid?

Thanks
Kiran

Hi Kiran,

Yes, it should report an invalid expression.  There are some known 
limitations in the XPath parser, and this is one of them.

Please feel free to file a bug report.

Thanks!

Dave
