Assuming an element 'n' with children elements 'c', and some number of

<!-- Do stuff -->

This strikes me as somewhat awkward. Is there a more direct test?
It seems OK to me. But you could put the test into the match attribute of
your template, of course.
I have used stuff like this:
<xsl:template match="n[*[not(self::c)]]">
<!-- Do stuff -->
</xsl:template>
I don't really know if "not(self::c)" is more efficient than "name()!='c'"
but I prefer it for some reason, maybe because there's no function call?
