  Hi

    *[not(node-name(.) = $to-exclude/node-name(.))]

And there I was thinking "there's no point doing lazy construction
of trees; no-one in their right mind is going to create an element
and then only access its name".

  I did :-)  I find this is the most natural way to create a sequence
of QName in XSLT, more than using the xs:QName() ctor.

I think I prefer the more direct:

* except (elem1 | ns:elem)

  Yes, right.

  Actually the use of the sequence of elements is useful nevertheless,
in a specific case: to be able to parameterize an expression (in a
reusable function, or to let a user or another stylesheet to set other
elements trough a parameter).
