Hi,

Although i'm unable to test other dev tools (MSXML or Xalan) i just
did with .Net 1.1

The .Net XSLT class chokes on the compilation of these XSLT's. I tried
locating some info @ W3C but couldn't find this specific topic. (I
might have missed it).

I remember doing something similar, but the first post obviously
doesn't work in .Net (not sure in other parsers).

I couldn't resist 'trying to solve the functionality question' and
this is what i came up with:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
	<xsl:output method="xml" />
	<xsl:param name="ElementName" />
	<xsl:param name="NamespaceURI"    />
	
	<xsl:template match="/">
		<xsl:element name="root">
			<xsl:apply-templates select="child::*" />
		</xsl:element>
	</xsl:template>
	
	<xsl:template match="node()">
		<xsl:variable name="ElemsToProcess"
select="*[local-name()=$ElementName and
namespace-uri()=$NamespaceURI]" />
		<xsl:if test="count($ElemsToProcess) &gt; 0">
			<xsl:call-template name="doit">
				<xsl:with-param name="ElemsToProcess"
select="$ElemsToProcess" />
			</xsl:call-template>
		</xsl:if>			
		<xsl:apply-templates select="child::*" />
	</xsl:template>	

	<xsl:template name="doit">
		<xsl:param name="ElemsToProcess" />
		<xsl:for-each select="$ElemsToProcess">
			<xsl:element name="output">
				<xsl:text>The element name =
</xsl:text>
				<xsl:value-of select="local-name()" />
				<xsl:text>&#10;</xsl:text>
				<xsl:text>The element resides in
namespace = </xsl:text>
				<xsl:value-of select="namespace-uri()"
/>
				<xsl:text>&#10;</xsl:text>
				<xsl:text>The element has the content
= </xsl:text>
				<xsl:value-of select="." />
				<xsl:text>&#10;</xsl:text>
			</xsl:element>
		</xsl:for-each>
	</xsl:template>
	
	<xsl:template match="text()"></xsl:template>

</stylesheet>


This template accepts a "ElementName" & "NamespaceURI" and will
execute the template called "doit" for each one found.

The real question becomes.. what is the intended functionality for
this?

Hope this helps,
