Jeni ...................... help?


Thanks everyone, this was just what I was looking for! I'm 
not sure I understand the '[self::nospace]' part, though (the 
rest is clear to me). Could anyone explain the 'grammar' for me?

self::nospace selects the context node if it is a nospace element, or
nothing if it is not. So its value is a set of zero or one nodes. When
used in a boolean context such as [], a node-set containing one node
evaluates to true and an empty node-set to false. So XXX[self::nospace]
returns those nodes in XXX that are nospace elements.
