I also found out the list of functions that can be used for querying. http://www.stylusstudio.com/docs/v62/d_xpath15.html#wp1455341 Hope this is helpful.

I couldnt get the min() function to work either. Not sure if that is not supported or something I was doing wrong. It just keeps saying "function min not found" . hmm…..

Also, I love the W3Schools site. Looking at the live docs, it looks like non-nodelist support was only added in CF8. Also, I love the W3Schools site.
