What you are describing is, in my opinion, closer to what the following would do for XPath on an XML tree: <xsl:apply-templates select="//*" /> What I was considering was an equivalent of: <xsl:apply-templates select="*" /> which only selects children of the context node and thus limits the scope of application of the XSLT instruction. The question is, can we even conceptually define an equivalent of this for a general directed graph?
