Re: [xsl] Getting variable yet most immediate parentNode

Its getting prickly =)

Let's assume I want to go one further and say that "@value" has
precedent over "@name" which has precedent over ".". Would adding
@value to the end of that give it first priority?

This won't work since the current node will always precede any @name
attribute in document order. Try select="(.|@name)[last()]" (which
adds the value of the @name attribute, if there is one, in preference
to the value of the node) or the more explicit (but slightly different)

<xsl:value-of select="."/>
<xsl:if test="not(normalize-space())">
   <xsl:value-of select="@name"/>
</xsl:if>

... which adds the value of a @name attribute if the current node has no 
value.

Cheers,
Wendell
