HRESULT matches(IXMLDOMNode* pNode, IXMLDOMNode** ppNode);
pNode parameter is Null.
An error for cases that are not allowed, as outlined in the Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) specification (applied to ID, IDREF, and Ancestor).
When matches is called with node A, it returns node B such that if B was set as the context on a query, A is in the result set of the query. If no such B node is found, matches returns Null.
The matches method does not take into account the current context of the query.
