> Anyone >new to XSLT will automatically try *:set first. Getting to >*[local-name(.)="whatever"] is a bit more convoluted and most beginners may >give up before they reach that solution on their own But the question at the heart of this thread is "should anyone new to XSLT be doing this at all?" Needing to key off the local name rather than the expanded name is the sign of a badly designed set of input languages (using different namespaces when they ought not to be using the same namespace) There no doubt are such uses but is this something that you need to make easy for a beginner?
