Equal

There is a an XML attribute with the specified name on the current operation, and its value equals the content of the condition when compared by using the specified comparison mode.

Greater Than

There is a an XML attribute with the specified name on the current operation, and its value is greater than the content of the condition when compared by using the specified comparison mode.

Less Than

The association value specified by the current operation is less than the content of the condition when compared by using the specified comparison mode.

Not Available

Available would return False.

Not Equal

Equal would return False.

Not Greater Than

For more information, see Sun’s Web site.

The pattern options CASE_INSENSITIVE, DOTALL, and UNICODE_CASE are used but can be reversed by using the appropriate embedded escapes.
