It's very unlikely that the original stylesheet does what you want in XSLT
2.0, even though it is legal.
You wrote
test="not(preceding-sibling::*)[starts-with($Arg,'
')]"
The first part
not(preceding-sibling::*)
is either true or false.
In XPath 2.0 you can filter any value or sequence with a predicate. So if
[starts-with($Arg,'
')]
is true, then the value of the test expression is the same as the value of
[starts-with($Arg,'
')], while if the predicate is false, the value of
the test expression is an empty sequence, which is treated as false.
I think it's rather unlikely this is what you intended. My immediate thought
was that the intended expression was
test="not(preceding-sibling::*[starts-with($Arg,'
')])"
but since the value of the predicate doesn't depend in any way on the
context node, that seems unlikely as well. So I'm afraid I can't help you
correct your code without knowing what it was intended to do.
