Without T's, there wouldn't be anything to transform!
ah but that's the point. xslt doesn't require tags, and can't tell if
there were any originally.
It takes as input a tree of nodes. That _night_ have come by an xml
parser readng tags in a file, but it might have come by DOM scripting
just generating a tree directly in memory, or it might have come from
parsing a GEDCOM file and reporting sax events or...
Also if you use "tag" to mean "element" you get the wrong answer for
even the siimplest questions:
given
<a href="b">c<br/></a>
how many elements are there
2
what's the content of the element with name a
the text node with string value "c", and the element br
how many tags are there
3
what's the content of the tag with name a
'a href="b"'
