But I forget what the problem was. In a boolean context, you can just say
test="local-name()='xyz'".
Yes, quite. Thanks for the correction. When not in a boolean context,
one might avoid self::node()[local-name()='xyz'] as it also selects
any self <xyz> elements you have cluttering your data. If you know
you're on an attribute, the boolean test suffices.
Bottom line is that XPath 1.0 gives no way to select all attributes
*except* a given one other than the resort to the name test.
XPath 2.0 can select "@* except attribute(xyz)", which is very nice.
Cheers,
Wendell
