Pattern schema-element(ITEM)/AUTHOR is not motionless
100%
Description
In a streamable schema-aware stylesheet, use of a pattern such as
match="schema-element(ITEM)/AUTHOR"
passes static analysis as a motionless pattern, but fails at execution time saying:
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: net.sf.saxon.trans.XPathException: Navigation using child axis is not supported from a streamed input node
It appears to have been compiled as a GeneralNodePattern rather than as an AncestorQualifiedExpression.

It seems that the schema-aware optimization has recognized that there can only be one AUTHOR in an ITEM, and has helpfully rewritten the expression as @schema-element(ITEM)/AUTHOR[1]@, In fact it seems to have done this twice, and changed it to @schema-element(ITEM)/AUTHOR[1][1]@. Adding the [1] is useful for XPath expressions, because it stops searching after finding one AUTHOR, and establishes a more accurate type for the expression; but it's counter-productive for XSLT patterns.

The creation of a FirstItemExpression happens in AxisExpression.checkPlausibility(), line 509.
We can prevent the redundant first(first(X)) by changing this code to special-case the situation where the parent of the AxisExpression is already a FirstItemExpression.
With this change we now get an AncestorQualifiedPattern, but it is still non-streamable because of the [1] predicate.
To suppress the rewrite completely within a pattern, we introduce a switch ExpressionVisitor.optimizeForPatternMatching.

- Status changed from New to Resolved
- Fix Committed on Branch 9.8 added
Fixed on 9.8 branch and trunk.
New test case is now passing - but on 9.8 it passes when run from the command line, but not from the test driver, because the test driver doesn't handle validation on streamed source documents.
