RE: [xsl] question about identity transform

The XPath expression "node()" has a node test, but the axis 
is omitted, so the fully expanded version of this address is 
"child::node()".  No attributes found there.


I sometimes write the axis in full - child::node() - just to make this more
clear to the reader; especially in a context like <xsl:if
test="child::node()"/>.  You could also of course write

<xsl:template match="child::node() | attribute::node()">
