Mike (et al.),
I spoke incorrectly about attributes. (And I am taking a real
drubbing for it.)
I can see that another issue was in my mind at the time, but the
relevance has been lost in the exchange.
Thanks for the correction,

1. The axis concepts concerning XML elements (parent::*,

Thus for a beginner in XSLT, my comment about attributes
stands.
Eh? You said an attribute has no parent. But if $x is an attribute,
then
$x/parent::* gives you an element, whether you are a beginner in
XSLT or
not. You don't help beginners by making statements that aren't
true.
You really think beginners are going to wade through all the
techno-talk when working with a workflow they probably didn't
even setup in the first place?
No, beginners aren't going to wade through it all. That's why it's
very
important not to give them incorrect information.
