There is another area where this 'feature' of XPath also shows itself, and thats when you are processing other documents that have been obtained using the document() function. If, for example, you are processing an RDF file that contains information about related resources: <xsl:variable name="resources" select="document(resources.rdf)"/> <xsl:apply-templates select="$resources"/> Your template matches will have to use the XPath expressions like the following: <xsl:template match="node()[local-name() = 'Description']"> <xsl:value-of select="node()[local-name() = 'title']"/> Which is tedious to say the least! Thank heavens for JEdit's abbreviations :-)
