this knowledge I have my doubts that its going to be all that
helpful to you as it doesnt seem that you want to reference the
actual stylesheet itself...
correct - I want to reference elsewhere in the current source
document which is not apparently possible. (Not being able to refer
to the document makes vague sense - I suspect it is possible for it
to be an infoset not actually a physical document, not the same as
referring to "other" documents.)
The only real chance you have of being able to do any sort of
pseudo dynamic XPath expression is if, for example, there is only
one ancestor gml:position for any given element.
there is in this case but I'm trying to solve some common patterns.
Oh well, enough ambition for the budget I have on this project, a
generic solution to XSLT processing of schema-driven,
ref-all-over-the-place documents will have to wait :-(
If this were the case you could use a recursive template to strip
away the the dots and slashes ... and then simply use the ancestor
axis
thanks, I'll try that.
