RE: Answers to review questions in "Beginning XSLT": Chapter 7

Oops, another change to my revised answers.

Anyway, the revised answers:
 *[name() = 'Program'] -- a child element of . named Program that is in the
   default namespace (that is in scope at this point in the source document)
   (or no namespace if there is no default).
 *[starts-with(name(), 'tv:')] -- a child element of . that is in the 
namespace
   associated with the tv: prefix in the source document

assuming there is only one such prefix.  If there is more than one, it is
likely that *[starts-with(name(), 'tv:')] will select those elements that are
marked with the 'tv:' prefix in the source document, but not guaranteed.
It may not select any elements.  But it will not select any elements that
are not in the namespace associated with 'tv:'.
No wonder caution is advised in using name()!

 *[name() = 'tv:Program'] -- a child element of . named Program that is
   in the namespace associated with the tv: prefix in the source document.

Same caveat as above.
