In XSLT 1.0, match="g" matches exactly the same elements as match="//g". There's a slight difference in 2.0, because match="//g" will only match g elements that are in a tree with a document node as its root - which means the processor has extra checks to do in this case. Similarly, select="./@name" is precisely equivalent to select="@name". Michael Kay | ||||||
