Re: [xsl] Cost of complex match patterns

2008/8/13 Michael Kay <mike(_at_)saxonica(_dot_)com>:
In Saxon, //bar is handled by an index, so exists(//bar) should be quite
fast after the first time (when the index is built).

What about:

<xsl:template match="foo">
  <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="ancestor::*/@type = 'a'">
     ....
    <xsl:when test="ancestor::*/@type = 'b'">

vs

<xsl:template match="foo[ancestor::*/@type = 'a']">

<xsl:template match="foo[ancestor::*/@type = 'b']">


Would you say the two are roughly equivalent, or are there other
subtle differences?
