I agree that your suggestion above is more clean.
Following are some use cases where I find self:: axis to be useful.
<xsl:template match="*[not(self::elem)]">
<!-- do something -->
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:if test="not(self::elem)">
<!-- do something -->
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
Of course there could be alternates ways of writing the logic, like
using the name() or local-name() function.
We could start of a discussion of for-each vs. apply-templates :) You
suggested xsl:apply-template over the for-each example I posted. There
are times when I *don't want to* define a template. I just want to do
for-each at the place where I am.
