2.0 behavior under 1.0 mode?

Dear XSLT enthusiasts, Using saxon 8.4, when I apply the following stylesheet:
========== <xsl:transform
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0"> <xsl:variable
name="liltree"> <d> <e/>
</d> </xsl:variable> <xsl:template
match="a"> <xsl:copy-of
select="$liltree//e"/> </xsl:template>
</xsl:transform> ========== to an arbitrary XML document, I get the result
<e/> I use a clear 2.0 feature (use a result-tree fragment in an XPath
expression) but I set the version to 1.0, so it should run in 1.0 mode and give an
error, right? Best regards, Jan

No, a 2.0 processor recognizes version="1.0" and runs in backwards
compatible mode, which means that certain well-defined constructs behave differently for
compatibilty reasons, but a 2.0 processor isn't expected to enforce all the restrictions
of 1.0 when version="1.0" is specified.
