RE: apply-templates and predicates

2005-04-27 06:23:19
when applying templates it is possible to filter out unwanted 
nodes in a 
number of ways, one is by putting a predicate on the 
apply-templates command 
and use modes if you have more than one filter. Another is to 
apply-templates to all nodes and put a predicate on the 
template match - 
this avoids the use of modes.

Can anyone ... provide advantages of doing the latter?


It's more resilient to unexpected input, e.g. as a result of schema changes.
